What is it that keeps New York Raw Honey in safe, secure corners? Look no further than the hexagonal, golden Honeycomb. The honeybees, persistent at their craft and expertise in keeping the hive a busy place of production, rely on the honeycomb to fulfill their purpose in nature. 

When it comes to making Beezy Beez Raw Honey, it is evident that there would be no such thing as Beezy Beez without huge help from the honeycomb. Keeping things in place such as measurement and angles, the honeycomb ensures that there is a place for honey to be secured before the packaging process begins. Honeycombs are made from beeswax, a natural wax made from bees, which they use to construct the honeycomb inside their hives. Bees make their beeswax by chewing on some of their already made honey, which is digested and transformed into wax. The beeswax has a liquid texture, but when excreted through the honey bee’s lower abdomen, the wax hardens as it hits the air. After forming scales, the bees chain together in a process called “festooning”-  to construct the honeycomb. Festooning helps the bees bridge any gaps in the comb, providing the bees and the honeycomb with a more durable structure. 

A sturdy honeycomb is a healthy environment, enabling the bees to thrive and produce honey while protecting their biological well-being. Because honey is a bee’s primary source of energy, they need an environment that will protect them and not disrupt their function. Without the proper atmosphere, the honeybee species can be at risk. 

Honeycombs are used for storage. A single hexagon inside a honeycomb is called a cell. Each cell has a small opening where honey and nutrients are stored. Sometimes, these cells are used to raise the next batch. Honeybee family planning- or mating in animal terms- is unique to the bee species. Known as “brood cells”, the Queen Bee lays her eggs in them after returning from mating with a male bee. Incubating the developing honeybee, the brood cells are where the egg goes from larvae to pupa to eventually, a live honeybee. 

There would not be such a thing as delicious, raw local honey if not for pollination. Pollination is an important and valuable part of a honey bee’s life cycle, and sets the bees on a track to preserving their colony, or home, as well as making enormous contributions to the environment. 

The term pollination refers to the function of pollen among flowers. Pollen is the main source of energy and protein for honey bees, and as the bees transfer pollen from one plant to another, this gives the plants the sources they need to produce the healthiest crops, including fruits, vegetables, and legumes. Bees thrive inside and outside of their hives, especially in areas that are flower-heavy. When the bees swarm across a field of flowers, they collect nectar and pollen, which is beneficial to them developing larvae in the hive, for reproduction of their own species as well as the reproduction of flowers and other plants. 

Flowers are made up of more than just the pretty colored petals we see every spring. On every flower there are: 

sepals (which open and fold back, making an opening for the budding petals) .

Filaments, which are stalk-like structures that support the pollen-producing anthers. 

Pollen grains, which contain genetic material of a male that is transported into the female structures known as stigmas. 

Then, there are ovules (female structure at the base of a plant, that becomes fertilized) and nectaries which produce nectar for animal visitors like bees to collect.

One of the most common flowers for bees to pollinate is the "Bee Balm", which are hot pink in color and bloom in the spring. Others include the  Asters, with daisy-like purple petals, Goldenrods, and the famous Sunflower. 

Bees are known to be foragers, or harvesters and gatherers. Because bees are foragers, they collect food and nutrients for the colony and the flowers they pollinate. The bees' hairy fuzz-like texture helps them attract pollen and finding a space to pollinate. Honey bees, or worker bees, may also take their collected quantities of nectar and pollen back to the hive and pour it into the honeycomb, thus beginning the honey making process.

Pollination is important so that bees can remain alive and healthy, even when humans are afraid of them. Bees bring so much to our world that sometimes, humans forget to consider all of the good things bees bring us. So, before freaking out if one is flying around, let them bee. Without the process of pollination, there would be no way for bees to make raw honey like Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey. Pollination is the job the bees get done, keeping them "beezy" while helping the world around them.
