They might have a beeswax base, but they use some other oil or something
to make it more pliable and sticky.  However, the rings might be good
for some purposes. By handling the rings and pure beeswax, you will soon
find they are different.  Judging from the cost of beeswax and the cost
of the rings, they couldn't be made of pure beeswax.
