'does it make industrious' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'six-footers grow?' is the wordplay.
'six footers' becomes 'bees' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'grow?' becomes 'wax' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bees'+'wax'='BEESWAX'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beeswax that I've seen before include "Material in honeycombs" , "A sex web (anag)" , "Hive-made polish" , "Animal product for polish and candles" , "It's used to make honeycombs and candles" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
