Bees wax and honey

I know to add honey at light trace, but I would like to use the room temperature method and I am not sure when to add the bees wax. Should I put it with the solids or should I melt it down first and add with liquid oils?
Answer:Honey can be added to the liquid oils or if heated to thinly traced soap.
Beeswax needs to be melted and added to the hot base oils in order for it to blend properly. I'm not sure if it would be a suitable additive to use with the room temperature method since you will not be dealing with hot oils.
You most likely will end up with hard waxy bits in the soap.
