Bees build hexagonal honeycombs because it is the most efficient shape for storing maximum honey while using the minimum amount of beeswax, which is energetically costly for them to produce.

Did you know? Stingless bees like the Melipona species in Mexico (e.g., Melipona beecheii, sacred to the Maya) and Brazil don't build those perfect hexagonal honeycombs we know from honeybees. Instead, they construct horizontal brood combs for larvae and store their precious, medicinal honey in separate wax-resin pots—a unique tropical adaptation! 🐝🍯 🎥 meliponariosbk

🤯 How wild honey is harvested in Indonesia A man climbs a tree about 60 meters high — roughly the height of a 20-story building. At the top, he fights off a swarm of aggressive bees and carefully cuts the honeycombs, trying not to drop them.

This method of create a plexus effect had been hidden in plain sight for years. We’ve all been doing it wrong. Sorry entagma. This is the shortest and most efficient way to build it in #b3d using #geometrynodes.😉

NEED TO KNOW: There are over 20,000 species of bees across the planet. Around 90% of these bee species are Solitary Bees. 40% of bee species are endangered. There are only 8 honey bee species. Honey bees are not endangered. There are more honey bees on the planet now than at any time in human history. Keeping hives of domesticated honey bees does not ‘save’ endangered native wild bees - it can make things worse for them. #bees #nature

Bees are amazing! The bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1,000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey. For us it is only a teaspoon of honey, but for the bee it is a life. 🐝🌸🥄🍯

The Qur’an’s Surah An-Nahl (The Bees) contains several remarkable references to honey bees that align with modern biological discoveries. In verses 16:68-69, God describes how the bee is inspired to build its homes and produce honey that comes from their bellies, and mentions that this honey contains healing qualities — a fact science has only recognized recently, including honey’s antimicrobial and medicinal properties. The Arabic text also uses feminine verbs and forms when referring to bees, which resonates with the scientific truth that the worker bees responsible for foraging and honey production are female — a detail not known in the 7th century. Additionally, the chapter number itself is 16, the same number as the chromosomes found in male honey bees, while female honey bees have 32 chromosomes (16 pairs) — a precise genetic fact discovered only with modern cytogenetics, and some scholars see this numerical alignment as an intriguing correspondence between the Qur’anic structure and bee biology. These layers of meaning — the biological production of honey, its health benefits, the role of females, and the chromosome count — illustrate how the Qur’anic description touches on aspects of bee science that were unknown to humans at the time of its revelation, yet confirmed by contemporary research.

This is how exactly farmers remove the beeswax before harvesting honey. This is so SATISFYING to watch 👌

It is impossible to build wide roads in the narrow lanes and heavy traffic of Varanasi, which is why a ropeway is the most practical solution. It is incorrect to compare it with a bullet train because bullet trains are for long distances, whereas a ropeway is for 'last-mile connectivity' within the city. It is a smart way to eliminate congestion with less space and at a lower cost.

Kevin O'Leary, the main proponent of the proposed Stratos 9 gigawatt data center, says they'll get the power for it from the Ruby Pipeline, which he says is only 17% utilized. The problem is that, in order to obtain the amount of gas needed to produce 9 gigawatts, it would require more than 100% of the full capacity of the pipeline! Tough luck for whoever is currently using the 17% flow? I break down all the math in this video. Full report here: Tucker Carlson
