What is the origin of the idiom "mind one's own beeswax" and when to use it?

The idiom "mind one's own beeswax" is a playful and somewhat humorous variation of the older expression "mind your own business." The word "beeswax" was likely used as a lighthearted and somewhat whimsical substitute for "business." The idiom emerged in American English during the 1930s and is often used to humorously or emphatically encourage someone to tend to their own affairs and not meddle in the affairs of others.
