I did a hive inspection today. Lots of brood, wax being drawn, and honey being collected. They were super calm, very industrious, and no aggression at all.

When the combs are vertical how to they fill them with honey and seal it before the honey leaks out?

That's a good question... surface tension?

The row of cells in the left picture looks like they were filled and sealed on a slant.
Maybe when they spit the honey out it isn't liquid yet, more like the center in a chocolate covered cherry, then after it's sealed up the chemistry makes it liquid. The right hand picture shows cells not full but apparently not leaking... of course they wouldn't in this position.  I'm curious about the one that's sealed with a little hole in the middle. Maybe like a water fountain or snack bar to give the girls energy

Lil' Pete did a whole honeycomb series of design projects in college, bees be fascinating.

The viscosity of honey causes coiling...

Lost me after the first mention of the word tail. I then rapidly lost interest.
The coiling honey at the very beginning was awesome though.

If you want something sweet just lick the wall...
I wonder what the bees do about the ants?

Typically bees in a strong hive run a very clean operation. If their numbers are good they would clean up any spillage themselves. I'd say that wall hive has been disturbed.
Ants will sometimes try to colonize under the cover of a hive but they usually aren't an issue at all.

The difference between bees and the Borg is bees can give you hives [/double entendre].
(the Borg just assimilate you into one) |
