Honey Combs
A honeycomb is a mass of hexagonal wax cells built by honey bees in their nests to contain their larvae and stores of honey and pollen. Beekeepers may remove the entire honeycomb to harvest honey.
Honeycomb Geometry
The axes of honeycomb cells are always quasihorizontal, and the nonangled rows of honeycomb cells are always horizontally aligned.
Role of wax temperature
During the construction of hexagonal cells, wax temperature was between 33.6 and 37.6°C, well below the 40°C temperature at which wax is assumed to be liquid for initiating new comb construction
