honeycomb

This old and abandoned honeycomb is a mass of hexagonal wax cells built by commercial and wild honey bees in their nests to contain their larvae and stores of honey and pollen.

When I was still young, I used to go with my father whenever he will  harvest honey in our farm. Of course, we wore some protection to avoid being bitten by honeybees. He remove the entire honeycomb to harvest honey and we used the honey for our home (personal, health purposes). Harvesting honey is really adventurous and interesting!

I know there was a bee blight in the US last years. Where did they go? Vitally important to the ecosystem.

That looks like and old and dry one – quite an unusual view, but still interesting! No honey left for tea ..
