  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 thought they regurgitated it into the honey combs.

    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.
