In the middle of the night I wondered how the hexagon shape is made (I am very curious and like to learn), and now this morning you answered that question and more. 😊 Amazing how bees do all of this! Why are the frames close together, and where would the bees construct up a hive if not in an human-made one? Thank you for this educational video!
Fascinating! How did I not make the connection of the shape of the cell to the size of the bee? Thanks for making this all understandable with your videos! 💛
Great question! Worker bees are constantly walking up to the queen and touching her with their antennae. They get her pheromones on them and then they walk around the hive and distribute her pheromone. The poor queen bee is usually bald and that's from being touched all day long by her daughters.
Im still not sold on the cylinder to hexagon,i think bees draw hexagons from the bottom on out,or foundation may as well be circles, rather than embossed hexagons😊
Good point! There is only one way to know for sure - put a frame with no foundation into your hive and look at the comb when it is really tiny, just a few inches tall and wide. Look at the shape of the cells. I would think that if foundation was in the frame, the cells are built as hexagons from the start. But, if there's no foundation, they start out as cylinders.
@@BeekeepingMadeSimple i think they start as trihedral 3 sided pyramid, like dadants smoker symbol,comb is drawn out,not stacked,...it would be really great to see festooning and the drawing out process in time laps,I did find some studies on the surface tension,cacoons,contributing to the final structure,its facinating for sure,how the cells stagger side to side in a zigzag
Hexagons are formed naturally when circles are pushed together. You can think of the hexagon pattern as the equilibrium. The cells start off circular, and when the bees heat the cells through vibration, the hexagonal shapes form due to surface tensions of the walls. As long as the cells are a uniform size, perfect hexagons will be formed. You can see a similar phenomenon when bubbles join together in a bath. There is a really interesting paper published explaining the formation of honeycomb shape - Search for: Journal of the Royal Society Interface: Honey Bee Combs
Hi miss one question can bees collect enough nectar and pollen from coconut trees so that they can be on a honey flow on that crop . Am from St. Lucia 🇱🇨 and there are a lot of coconut trees here.
I don't know how much nectar the coconut palm trees produce, but I do know that the bees LOVE them. Since the flowers are so high up it's hard to see if they're taking nectar or pollen, but I can hear the palms buzzing when I stand under them. My guess is that they must produce an okay amount of nectar because the bees I have by the ocean bring in a ton of honey when the Mesquite trees bloom. When that bloom is over, the palms are really all they have. The hives aren't bursting with honey like from the mesquite harvest, but they are stable for the rest of the year.
Thanks! Sometimes I just need a break from all the talk about how to keep bees and want to just share why I love bees so much. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Nice! They say beekeepers tend to live very long lives because we eat the whole comb with all the magical properties in it :) That might not be 100% true, but, hey it can't hurt.
yes please, I need this answer too!! I have a lot of flowers around side of the house and backyard, but how do I discourage them to build home right there? I was thinking maybe spray vinegard in the spring? any ideas? - Thank you ALL!
Interesting! Could you please reply with the link to the video or give me a brief summary of why he says this? I have seen quite a few frames of small, newly built comb and a lot of the cylinders look pretty round.

No, the real creator is God. Allah is fake. Jesus is the son of God! Stop islam ! Your religion is weird, allowing polygamia, making woman like object! Which is wrong

How much time it takes bees to make comb in a hive
Bees are absolutely amazing and I found this to be fascinating.
Not sure why I decided to watch this when I should have BEEn in bed 2hrs ago
❤😂❤😂❤😂
Because bees are rad and the woman who made this video is succinctly informative and adorable?

The part where you said that make heat, it is also Resonance that molds the combs. It’s all about the vibration the bees make.
❤❤❤❤

QUESTION: Do bees ever move into an old, abandoned hive, and take it over kinda like a “fixer-upper” ?
Why hasn’t nobody replied 🙄? Ayuda mi!!!
Omg I love this 🐝 (as I sip my tea with a little bit of honey comb in it) lol
Fascinating! How did I not make the connection of the shape of the cell to the size of the bee? Thanks for making this all understandable with your videos! 💛
Thank you
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching and supporting my channel :)
Props to her eating the whole honey comb
She literally said she spits it out, are you an incel?
Honey is bee barf but man, oh, man, 😂 is it delicious and so great for you! And if stored properly, it will never spoil!
you dont have to question if it is stored properly, the bee does it for you.
Thank you for this
THANK YOU! Insanely more helpful and informative than I expected! ❤
How do you know if a honeycomb is filled with babies or honey?
By the color of the capping
How do bees make honey ? It’s none of your bees wax lol😂
Best video I’ve seen on this topic. Thank you🙌
Thanks for the interesting video! It felt like I was back in school but the lesson is actually interesting😂.
love this, new sub ❤🐝
Damn found out some good tips and facts this video was amazing I will subscribe
Thank you! Great presentation! I think we need Bees Wax Candles! Thanks!!
We need earwax candles
why do the worker bees walk to the queen bee all the time?
Great question! Worker bees are constantly walking up to the queen and touching her with their antennae. They get her pheromones on them and then they walk around the hive and distribute her pheromone. The poor queen bee is usually bald and that's from being touched all day long by her daughters.
Super interesting video!
Thank you! Aren't bees amazing? Thanks for watching and for the comment. It is much appreciated.
Great video. Thanks for sharing this info, I learned a lot .❤
I got unreasonably mad when she said they make honey for thier babies and we just steal the shit 😂😂😂😂
You know how quickly they produce honey what we take they make back quickly
What do u think milk is?
How do u know there’s no eggs still in there when u eat it 😮
It is capped differently

I used to speed a lot of time in the honeycomb hideout.
how do they eat honey if they're the ones that make the honey?
Interesting topic, thanks for the video.
very informative !

I got some for my daughters today. I’m afraid to let them swallow the wax.
@@BeekeepingMadeSimple Peanut butter doesn’t need to be refrigerated because it’s sweetened with honey.
What does honeycomb taste like ?
Video evidence please!
There are bees making a nest in my house siding and I don’t want to be a bee keeper lol how do I get rid of them without hurting them
