Making a Home in a Honeycomb: How the Purpose of these Hexagons Contribute to Bee Health and Quality
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.
Aside from beeswax, inside the honeycomb is also RAW HONEY THAT YOU CAN EAT! Beezy Beez Raw Local Honey is found in the honeycombs of bees raised in New York City.
