beeswax
Apiary secretion material
Beeswax is the yellowish waxy substance produced by honeybees to construct their honeycombs.
It's used in candles, cosmetics, polishes, and waterproofing.
The phrase mind your own beeswax is a playful way of telling someone not to meddle—beeswax standing in for business through rhyme and mild euphemism.
