How did it never occur to me to ask where bee’s wax comes from?
I mean, it’s right there in the name: beeswax, its own word.
I don’t know what I was expecting exactly but it wasn’t little wax scales coming from their abdomen
I always kind of hoped they pooped the wax out like spider’s silk.
I assumed it was like cream separating from milk, only wax from honey, but to be fair I have never really thought about it much
i think most people at some point hear that honey is basically bee vomit, and thus passively assume wax works the same way. Plus hornets literally chew up wood and spit it out, so that’s even more reason to assume bees do something like that.
Well it’s not like it’s called beeswaxoutoftheiryuckysegmentedbody so we still have some room for imagination duh
I don’t know why, but this grosses me out so much.
Yeah it looks really disgusting, like it’s shitting soft teeth
Fuckin bee eczema 🤢
What a terrible day to know how to read.
oi you didn’t need to put that image out there in the world
you could have just kept that to yourself
