Caustic Wax

is an inventory item and a type of wax added in the 12/26/2021 update that can be used on a beequip to boost its stats. Upon usage, it has a 25% chance of greatly improving the beequip's stats; however, it has a 75% chance of permanently destroying the beequip instead, destroying the beequip and also wasting the Caustic Wax. This wax cannot be used on permanent beequips. Caustic Wax has Upgrade Value of 4.
It also can be used to craft a variety of different items, such as planters and tools.
When successfully applying Caustic Wax to a bee's beequip, a message pops up saying, "The Wax improved the Beequip!”.
If the wax fails to upgrade the beequip, a message will pop up saying, "The Wax has Destroyed the Beequip...".
