I always kind of hoped they pooped the wax out like spider's silk.

I assumed it was like cream separating from milk, only wax from honey, but to be fair I have never really thought about it much

They do, but in order for them to regurgitate, they first must gorge upon it. They eat it, chew it up and spit it out in the shapes necessary (planar, cylindrical, or otherwise).
