Beeswax is produced by honey bees through a fascinating process. Here’s a brief overview of how bees make beeswax:

1. Wax Production: Worker bees have specialized wax-producing glands on the underside of their abdomens. These glands secrete a substance that hardens into wax scales.

2. Wax Scales: The bees collect these wax scales and chew them to make them pliable. The chewing process also mixes the wax with their saliva, which helps to shape it.

3. Comb Construction: The chewed wax is then used to build hexagonal honeycomb cells in the hive. These cells are essential for storing honey and pollen, and for raising young bees (brood).

4. Comb Use: Bees use the combs to store honey and pollen, and to protect and nurture their larvae.

The entire process is vital for the hive's functionality and sustainability.

We have some banana/date mead on tap, but it might not be the best idea haha. Don't worry about the banana sediment. I was too lazy to filter it, I knew I was going to drink it anyway for "sampling" purposes. I also added some maraschino cherries. Maybe I should add vanilla and pineapple to make it like a banana split! Happy Sunday Funday!
