The backbone of honeycomb are the hexagonal beeswax cells. Bees typically consume 6 pounds of honey to create 1 pound of beeswax. Bees create only one pound of honey for every 1.1 billion flower blossoms visited. Flower blossoms nectar is the source of bee hive honey. Bees deposit the flower nectar gathered from tens of thousands of flowers into each beeswax cell. Bees fan their wings over the cells, evaporating most water from the nectar. In the finishing touch, bees cap the honeycomb cells with beeswax. This leaves behind the “nectar of the Gods” known as honey. The typical water content of honey ranges from 15% – 17%. Capped honey cells are reserved for the colony food supply. Beeswax is a highly edible substance that helps with healing and allergies.
