【蜜蜡】
味甘，性微温，无毒。主治下痢脓血，补益中气，接续绝伤，治疗金疮（金属利器造成的创伤），益气，使人不感饥饿，延缓衰老。白蜡，治疗久泻不止、里急后重、大便中见白色脓液，补益绝伤，利于小儿。长期服用可令身体轻健，不感饥饿。产于武都山谷。生长在蜂蜜房舍的木石之间。畏芫花、蜃蛤。
这就是蜜蜡，生于蜂蜜之中，所以称为蜜蜡。蜜蜂皆先以此物作为蜜的基础，煎炼蜂蜜时也能得到它。初制时极香软，人们再煮一天左右自然变白；如果急需使用，也可以将其熔化放入水中十余次也会变白。世俗医方只用来合治下部的丸药，而《仙经》中认为其断谷（辟谷）最为重要实用，现在的人只是咀嚼食用方寸大小的蜜蜡，也能一天不感到饥饿。（出自《大观本草》卷二十，《政和本草》四一二页）
【蜂子】
味甘，性平、微寒，无毒。主治头风病，去除蛊毒，补益虚羸（虚弱消瘦），治疗伤中。治疗心腹痛，大人和小孩腹中五种寄生虫从口吐出的情况，以及面目发黄。长期服用令人面色光泽，颜色好，不老。轻身益气。大黄蜂子：主治心腹胀满痛，干呕，轻身益气。土蜂子：主治痈肿，咽喉疼痛。又名蜚零。产于武都山谷。（畏黄芩、芍药、牡蛎。）
前文直接说“蜂子”，即应当是蜜蜂子，取其中未长成头足时的幼虫炒食；又用酒浸泡后敷面，使面容悦目洁白。黄蜂子……
【白胶】
味甘，性平、温，无毒。主治伤中，劳损绝伤，腰痛，身体消瘦，补益中气，治疗妇人血闭无子。止痛，安胎。治疗吐血，便血，崩中漏下不止，四肢酸痛，多汗，淋沥露注，跌打损伤。长期服用轻身，延年益寿。
又名鹿角胶。产于云中，煮鹿角制成。（得火良，畏大黄。）
现在人很少再煮制此胶，只用于制作角弓，尚且说是用这种胶罢了。方药用也稀少，道家时常又需要它。制作白胶的方法，先用米汁浸泡七日使其变软，然后煮煎，如同制作阿胶的方法一样。另一种方法是将角细锉，与一片干牛皮一起煮，角就会消烂，否则相互排斥，一百年也无法煮熟。（出自《新修本草》一九二页，《大观本草》卷十六，《政和》三七一页）
[Honeycomb Wax]
Sweet in taste, slightly warm in nature, non-toxic. It treats dysentery with pus and blood, tonifies the Middle Jiao (Central Digestive System), repairs severe injuries and fractures, treats metal weapon wounds (Jin Chuang), supplements Qi, prevents hunger, and delays aging. White wax treats chronic diarrhea, tenesmus (feeling of incomplete defecation), passage of white pus, repairs severe injuries, and benefits children. Long-term consumption makes the body light and prevents hunger. It grows in the valleys of Wudu. It is found between the wood and stones of honeycombs. It is incompatible with Daphne Genkwa (Yuan Hua) and Viverrida shells (Zhen Ge).
This is honeycomb wax, born within honey, hence called "Honeycomb Wax". Bees first use this substance as the base for honey; it can also be obtained when boiling honey. Initially, it is extremely fragrant and soft; if people boil it for about a day, it naturally turns white; if used urgently, it can also be melted and washed in water more than ten times until it becomes white. Secular prescriptions only use it to compound pills for lower body ailments, whereas the "Immortal Scripture" considers it most essential for grain avoidance (Bigu). Nowadays, people simply chew pieces of one square inch, which also keeps them from feeling hungry for a day. (From *Daguan Bencao*, Vol. 20; *Zhenghe Bencao*, p. 412)
[Beeswax Larvae / Bee Pupae]
Sweet in taste, neutral to slightly cold in nature, non-toxic. It treats head wind disorders, eliminates gu poison, tonifies deficiency and emaciation, and treats injury to the Middle Jiao.

Long-term consumption gives luster to the skin, improves complexion, and prevents aging. It lightens the body and supplements Qi. Yellow hornet larvae: Treats distension, fullness, and pain in the heart and abdomen, dry heaving, lightens the body, and supplements Qi. Earth wasp larvae: Treats carbuncles and swellings, and throat pain. Also known as Fei Ling. Grows in the valleys of Wudu. (Incompatible with Scutellariae Radix (Huang Qin), Paeoniae Radix (Shao Yao), and Ostrea Concha (Mu Li).)
The previous text directly mentions "bee larvae," which should refer to honeybee larvae; they are taken when they have not yet developed heads and legs, stir-fried, and eaten; or soaked in wine and applied to the face to make the complexion fair and white. Yellow hornet larvae...
[White Glue / Deer Horn Gelatin]
Sweet in taste, neutral to warm in nature, non-toxic. It treats injury to the Middle Jiao, consumptive diseases, lumbar pain, emaciation, tonifies the Middle and supplements Qi, and treats amenorrhea due to blood stasis leading to infertility. It stops pain and calms the fetus. It treats hematemesis (vomiting blood), hematochezia (blood in stool), metrorrhagia and metrostaxis (uterine bleeding) that does not stop, soreness and pain in the four limbs, excessive sweating, stranguria with leakage, and traumatic injuries from falls and fractures. Long-term consumption lightens the body and prolongs life.
Also known as Deer Horn Gelatin (Lujiao Jiao). Produced in Yunzhong, made by boiling deer horns. (Benefits from fire, incompatible with Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (Da Huang).)
People nowadays rarely boil it to make glue; it is only used for making horn bows, though it is still referred to as using this glue. Its use in medical prescriptions is rare, but Daoists often require it. The method for making white glue is to first soak the horns in rice water for seven days until soft, then boil and decoct, similar to the method for making Ejiao. Another method is to finely chop the horns and boil them with a piece of dried cowhide; the horns will dissolve and rot. Otherwise, they repel each other, and it would take a hundred years to cook them thoroughly. (From *Xinxiu Bencao*, p. 192; *Daguan Bencao*, Vol. 16; *Zhenghe Bencao*, p. 371)
