bar of soap always worked well. Never tried bee's wax. However, a good source for bees wax is to go to the hardware store and buy a toilet wax ring. It is bees wax, very playable and best of all, $5. Could have gone up a bit since the last time I purchase one. I apply it on my bow string. A single wax ring will last literally a life time. I used to place it in a 35 MM camera film container. The one I have in my bow box is the original from at least 25 to 30 years ago. Just doesn't see the light of day very often and the wax doesn't go bad... ever.
