Hi Tom,
 
You can make soap with beeswax and it is a nice soap.
You need to use water, lye and fat.  The problems begin with the fact that
the temperatures of these ingedients are critical and the amounts of each
are critical also.  Once you learn how to make basic soap you can start
experimenting with using bees wax.  And then you can get fancy by adding
scents and things like oatmeal and pumice.  There are many books you should
be able to find to give you the amounts and temps.
But beeswax makes a nice soap.
( be careful with the LYE)
