Bee hive in the wild
2006-07-14 12:18:05 · 6 answers · asked by Anonymous in Environment
If the bees make them, it depends upon the bee species, they are usually a sort of paper made by the bees from chewed up wood, mud, hollow logs, crevices in rocks or in burrows under ground.
European honey bees in particular prefer hollow logs or trees, which is why a human constructed bee hive is typically a wooden box, which the bees think is a hollow log.
Honey combs are made of wax, but are not part of the structure of the bee hive. The hive is really a sort of house to protect the honey combs from animals that would love to eat them.

Bee puke. The bees eat the pollen and stuff, digest it, then regurgitate a waxy substance that they use to make the honeycomb.
