  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.

        They do, but in order for them to _re_gurgitate, they first must gorge upon it. They eat it, chew it up and spit it out in the shapes necessary (planar, cylindrical, or otherwise).
