How Do Bees Build Honey Comb?

In this video I show you how bees build honey comb when they are left to do it the way they like.

It’s so cool how the bees trust you and are completely chill with you bee-ing there

Bees: We're big into DIY, we decided to renovate while you were away.

It's interesting to see these smooth, oblong shapes made from interlocking hexagons. A testament to the efficiency of these creatures, they can make great use of space on both a large and small scale

It's amazing how precise each cell is. It's beautiful. 😊

The almost perfect pattern of the comb is amazing, some ture natural art

Very cool 😎 thanks for sharing the organic artwork of bees 🐝

Each bee only produces a small amount of wax? That's an absolutely amazing fact!

Used to love harvesting honeycombs omw home from school and eating them. Idk what it is about the texture of the combs but man there just isn't anything quite like a perfectly crunchy yet aoft comb full of honey.

Best practice is admitting our mistakes & moving forward a little wiser. Well done.

These bees are more chill than the ones we had here

Very interesting thank you for sharing your experience

I love you pull it out with your bare hands 😮
And shake them off is great😅

[Drakeyanimates]

The way you throw them off the comb is just pure bravery!

[TheHelpfulDM]

How do you give the wax back to the bees?

[gardenstate]

Amazing to see how much they built in just one week

Thank you for what you do. Bees are the most important creatures on this earth

I worked doing bee hives and extracting 🍯 honey from hives..bees are awesome to work with...in the end we were working without bee suites on..bees get to know you and you don't get stung 🐝🐝🐝

But, question: isn't honey the food they've made for winter, themselves and their offspring?
I've been watching the Texas Bee lady and she doesn't harvest honey for that reason, so now am curious. In other areas (I mean, Texas has winter, but some areas hardly do, like Southern California, Florida, Hawaii, and probably other warm areas), is there bee food year round?
And other than comb, beautiful thing that it is, do bees use beeswax for something other than making comb?

I’ve done that more times than I can count. Thanks!
