Beeswax for lubricating hinges. How does it compare to other lubricants?
Anecdotally, I waxed (my default, on the belief that it stays put and works which prior experience had born out) a squeaky door hinge last year, and it quieted down for a short time, then resumed squeaking.

When I addressed it the next time, I used petroleum jelly - due to what I had handy, specifically the mentholated version (Vick's Vapo-Rub, no endorsement implied) and it has remained quiet since (which is a longer period of time than the wax worked for.)
