I managed to get an almost-in-focus photo of a honey bee excreting wax today:
A bee producing wax. (July 14, 2012.)
The bee will pull away the wax with its back legs and use its mouth to shape the wax into comb. At least that’s what a little birdie told me.
Phillip, your photographs are wonderful. Boy are they helpful!
Thank you!
oh wow! I can’t believe that you got pictures of that! Awesome!
Very cool. Makes you appreciate how hard the bees work and how little wax each one produces.
