Bees do not collect honey - they collect nector from flowers. Nector is not very sticky - it is mostly water. The bee sucks up the nector with its tongue and flys back to the hive where it puts the nector into the pre-formed wax cell in the honeycomb. This would be like a human sipping a soda and then spitting it out - you really don't get sticky unless you happened to spit in the wind! The honeycomb is made of "bees wax" which is secreted from the glands of the younger bees still in the hive. Even if a bee where to go into the wax cell, at that point the nector is not very sticky, but the bee would have to go out of its way to go into a cell, they walk on the cell walls, not in the cells. After storage in the cell, the bees in the hive use their wings to fan the nector and create heat. This causes the water to evaporate and the honey to form. Once the honey is at the right consistancy the bees cap the cell with wax to store it. At that point they can walk over the cell and not get sticky. The process is the same as when humans make maple syrup - the tree sap is not very sticky, but the resulting maple syup is very sticky - so we put it in a jar - since we don't make honey combs! When the bees need the honey later, they bite off the wax cap and suck the honey back up with their tongues, it only takes a few minutes for a few bees to empty the cells completely.

Of course they do just the same as foxes doing theirs with a brush! Rude old bee, b off. Lo xxx
Edit: To all those of you who think Eliza's questions are pointless, get a sense of fun. She is constantly witty and bright and for the majority of us (with more than 3 brain cells and a vocabulary with more than, what drugs you on, you are not funny)we enjoy using our brains to think up clever and witty answers to Eliza's questions. Don't you ever dare stop Dushku. You make my day a more interesting and enjoyable place with your questions. Love Lo xxxx
ps I'm not after the 10 points for the rant, this is just how I feel. Give them to a deserving answer as always Eliza. Lo xxx
