What a bee hive is like from top down

My Italian stupid ass thought it was a bunch of pasta made to freak out people with Trypophobia

I’m in awe and grossed out at the same time. Idk why but all the holes or thin roundish parts disturb me. *shivers*

I'm strangely disgusted and also enthralled. It's beautiful but also visceral and I can't explain why.

Did they set up a hive to make that design, or is it a wild hive?

If I’m not mistaken, Wild honeybees are notorious for choosing beautifully stained wood boxes for their hives

This was a manufactured process. Honey bees build their combs on wax lines laid down by the keepers. It's the same for flat combs.

6 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 1

Got any more info on the process?

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

It's nothing super complicated. They just take wax coated string and press it onto the wood frame, either along the bars of a flat frame or

I'm a pattern like what you see here. The bees then sniff out the wax and then start building on top of it as a guide to make new comb.

With a few exceptions, most birds are completely unforgiving cunts. Unless you’re feeding them. Then they are too preoccupied to hate you.

Do you know if us harvesting too much honey can kill them? I just wonder if maybe they don’t have enough for winter ...

6 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

Taking too much can kill them. But beekeepers don't take too much. They don't even open the hive once it's cold enough.

The tell tale is to see if the bees have started to move honey next to fresh brood. Once you see that, don’t rob the hive.
