>>>  Do any one know of a method, technic or techology to purify bee wax? and
when I say purify, I mean to take out the agrotoxics (those put by us or those that bees gather from environment).

The only way I know is to distill the wax, just as petroleum goes through a distillation process after cracking.  Impurities are evaporated and precipitated out before the wax reaches its vaporization temperature.  Then the wax is precipitated out before other impurities can precipitate out.   I've not done it but think it is a valid method.  Let us know if you try it and how it works.
