Best Answer

sweet wax is produced from the abdomen of worker bees and it passes through its mouth where the bee chews it to make it soft for making the honeycomb

Beeswax is a natural wax produced in the bee hive of honey bees of the genus Apis. It is mainly esters of fatty acids and various long chain alcohols.

It is secreted by the bees from glands on their abdomens.

Why does honey cost less than the honeycomb from which it's made?

Honey is not made from honeycomb, it is extracted from honeycomb. Each cell of the comb contains honey and it is extracted by spinning it out using centrifugal force. Afterwards, the empty comb can be re-used in the hive and filled up again by the bees. Honeycomb is more expensive because it is cut from the honeycomb frame and so cannot be re-used.
