The work of construction seems to be a sort of balance struck between many bees, all instinctively standing at the same relative distance from each other, all trying to sweep equal spheres, and then building up, or leaving ungnawed, the planes of intersection between these spheres.
Eraikuntzak, elkarrekiko distantzia berera instintuz dauden erle askoren artean aurkituriko halako oreka bat duela ematen du, guztiak esfera berdinak industen eta gero esferon ebatura-planoak eraikitzen edo marraskatu gabe uzten ahalegintzen direlarik.
