Can't buy Wax for Candles

Forgive me if someone else has posted about this, but I've noticed I cannot buy wax blocks from a candle making station when I am at a maker lot. I've tried with two separate games and different sims, and I've tried replacing or resetting the candle makers. Any ideas? Yes, I know I need bits and pieces - that doesn't see to be the issue.

    I grow soybeans & collect soy wax every other day; I also have a beehive & collect the bees wax every other day. Both of these can be used to make candles.
  • I can't buy wax on the candle maker at the maker space either. I can buy dyes on the fabricator, but I can't buy anything off the candle maker. I can buy wax and dyes off the candle maker at home.
  • Thank you @Scobre and @Starfree I knew about bees and soy wax, but I was hoping to start out with buying the wax from the candle maker since my sim was brand new. I just waited until I had soy wax ;)
  • When I played EL, I always had to buy it on my home lot, the option never showed up at the Maker Space lot.
  • Guide on fabrication and candle making. Growing soybeans and the bug farming can help with crafting too.
