Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Sibling-path review (#12): grounding 'Cerumen/Earwax' made this stale, but UBERON:0002297 'cerumen' is defined as the secretion of apocrine sweat glands in the external auditory canal. Beehive cerumen is the wax-and-propolis mixture stingless bees build with; they share a word and nothing else. The slice has no term for it.
