and developing bees.
but what about the base of the hexagonal cell? many years ago, one scientist suggested that bees did not build the bottom end of the cell in the best way possible. maybe it gets an a, but not an a+. he said there was a better way to build the base using less wax.
now scientists have discovered that the bee may have had the best answer after all. they did experiments showing that the design used by the bees is better when the building material has more liquid in it. so, perhaps bees build the base the way they do because the wax starts out very soft. they
