I had no idea where bee's wax came from. Cool

Same. We hear so much about honeybees, how is this something I haven't heard.

I also double-checked that this isn't some AI image. Here's a different source: https://carolinahoneybees.com/mind-pure-beeswax/

Literally working its butt off.

How many flakes in a scale?

Is this the new measuring system?

Wait, their butt is at 60 degrees like a hexagon?!

[–] phdepressed@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's actually more circular when they put it down but the heat causes slight melting and restructuring to the hexagonal shape because hex is lower energy and structurally stronger.

easy way of visualizing it is like putting a bunch of bubbles next to each other, you'll end up with a hexagonal pattern and the edges merge into straight lines.
