Get Beeswax from Bees in Ranching
Get Beeswax from the Bee animal in Ranching, which unlocks at Ranching level 25 and costs 2,000 GP. Each normal production interval supplies 2 Beeswax alongside 1 Honey, with an hourly product timer.
This route covers Demo 0.11.4. The Bee's feeding input is 2 Ambervine Leaves, so maintain its food supply while it produces resources. You can use the ordinary Bee for Beeswax without waiting for the rare Golden Bee variant.
Set Up Your Beeswax Supply
- Reach Ranching level 25, then prepare Bee Box I. The enclosure also requires Ranching level 25 and has an animal limit of 10.
- Purchase the Bee for 2,000 GP through Ranching. Choose the Ranching animal entry that produces Honey and Beeswax.
- Supply the Bee's feeding input of 2 Ambervine Leaves and keep its food supply maintained. Ambervine Bush becomes available at Woodcutting level 20 and supplies Ambervine Leaf.
- Allow the hourly production timer to run, then check your Bee products. The normal output is 2 Beeswax and 1 Honey per production interval.

| Supply | Bee Use | How to Get It |
|---|---|---|
| Ambervine Leaf | Feeding input: 2 Ambervine Leaves | Gather Ambervine Bush at Woodcutting level 20 |
| Sunflower | A treat consumed by Bees | Buy Sunflower Bundle at Ranching level 30 for 1 Sunflower Seed |
| Marigold Flower | A treat consumed by Bees | Buy Marigold Flower Bundle at Ranching level 30 for 1 Marigold Seed |

Save Beeswax for Bee Free
Bee Free is a shop purchase in the Farmers Market Thieving location. It requires Ranching level 30 and consumes 100 Honey plus 100 Beeswax. If that purchase is your goal, keep both products instead of selling them as they arrive.
Golden Bee is a rare variant of the Ranching Bee. Ordinary Beeswax production does not require it. Continue with the ordinary Bee rather than making the variant a condition for starting your supply.
Check These Points if You Are Stuck
- Bee still locked: check your Ranching level. Both Bee and Bee Box I require Ranching level 25.
- No Beeswax yet: inspect the Bee's food supply and allow for the hourly production timer. Its feeding input is 2 Ambervine Leaves.
- Flower bundles still locked: Sunflower Bundle, Marigold Flower Bundle and Rosemary Flower Bundle require Ranching level 30. Gather Ambervine Leaves for the Bee's feeding input.
- Bee Free unavailable: check its separate Ranching level 30 requirement and retain 100 Honey alongside 100 Beeswax.
- Waiting for Golden Bee: use the ordinary Bee to produce Beeswax. The rare variant is not a prerequisite for this route.
