The fourth (4th) through the seventh (7th) are the abdominal segments for producing a bee's wax.

Specifically, a bee colony forms around females (a queen and many workers) and males (drones). Worker bees get wax from plates -- called sternites -- associated with the abdomen's segmented structure. The wax actually is a secretion from 8 wax-producing mirror glands on the inner sides of the fourth through seventh segments' plates.
