Honeycombs are structures made by bees to store honey and pollen, as well as to house their larvae. They are composed of hexagonal wax cells, which are built from beeswax secreted by worker bees. The hexagonal shape is efficient, allowing for maximum storage with minimal use of wax. The process of creating honeycombs begins when bees collect nectar from flowers. They convert this nectar into honey through a process of evaporation and enzymatic action. Once the honey is ready, bees fill the cells of the honeycomb, sealing them with a wax cap to preserve the honey for future use.
