wax
Bees make it
Substances designated as wax share several qualities: solid at room temperature, melting at about 40 °C, and often occurring naturally, like beeswax or earwax.
To wax something is to apply a protective coat of wax to it.
A different verb wax means to increase in size or intensity and is most typically used of the moon from new moon to full moon.
If someone waxes poetically, lyrically, or eloquently, for example, they express themselves in those ways.
