Am I the only one that sees a heart?
YeahNoForSure
Nature inspires art. The honeycomb just is.
fgnsnot
more like "work of heart" huehhe
Garrus63
Anyone seeing the heart shape?
weldr67
Looks like a sweet heart
MidnightOclock
I’m in awe and grossed out at the same time. Idk why but all the holes or thin roundish parts disturb me. *shivers*
FukStix
I wonder what it would look like if you gave them acid...

It is indeed a work of heart.

Then my drunk bees would just make a ball of wax.

Open your eyes, that’s an endoplasmic reticulum
zanzaboonda
I think my trypophobia probably stems from honeycomb.

*IS a work of art. Can we breed giant bees yet? I bet their fur is so soft. Imagine having a giant pet bee.
Skumbo
I'm strangely disgusted and also enthralled. It's beautiful but also visceral and I can't explain why.

Bees are the best artists

Honey is love
Astrocosmo
Did they set up a hive to make that design, or is it a wild hive?
BigFckingRocket
If I’m not mistaken, Wild honeybees are notorious for choosing beautifully stained wood boxes for their hives

My Italian stupid ass thought it was a bunch of pasta made to freak out people with Trypophobia
ReneeZellWitcher
Can you just straight up eat that?
ASDFFDSAASDFASDF
yes but its got bees in
ASDFFDSAASDFASDF
you'll like it better filtered
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
You can, or you can chew it and spit out the wax if you want.
bannedforajoke
This was a manufactured process. Honey bees build their combs on wax lines laid down by the keepers. It's the same for flat combs.
BigFckingRocket
Got any more info on the process?
bannedforajoke
It's nothing super complicated. They just take wax coated string and press it onto the wood frame, either along the bars of a flat frame or
bannedforajoke
I'm a pattern like what you see here. The bees then sniff out the wax and then start building on top of it as a guide to make new comb.
spiko999
I would hang it on my wall! :o
Melociraptor
Perfect. I'll bring a guy home and when we get to my door, I'll stop and turn to him and say, "before we go in, are you allergic to bees???"
BurntMomWarfare
you can! they have glass bee boxes that you install like a window.

Do you want bees in your house? Cause that's how you get bees in your house.
LostAndSeeking
Or ants
crypticorb
Cockroaches loooove beeswax, and will happily infest your wall decor.
Wubbalubbadubdubb101
How will you let the bees in and out?
ottotravel
They can wait at the door for me to open it just like the dog.

Ima steal their house obviously, ima bee living in it!

Great big taste!!!

Honeycomb's got a big big bite!
joebellson
Do they always create patterns like this? I pictured them creating straight orderly patterns. It is cool looking!
DangrebeTheMangrebe
It's all about maximizing surface area in a given volume. That's just how most life is.

Like the folds of a brain
DangrebeTheMangrebe
Exactly
plasmablue
This is the norm of wild bees, cultivated bees are given straight frames, allows harvesting without destruction, and faster honey
tiredofyall
Do you know if us harvesting too much honey can kill them? I just wonder if maybe they don’t have enough for winter ...
MichaelAndersen88
Taking too much can kill them. But beekeepers don't take too much. They don't even open the hive once it's cold enough.
tiredofyall
Thanks!
armagetz
Bee keepers lavish their hives with care and attention.
armagetz
The tell tale is to see if the bees have started to move honey next to fresh brood. Once you see that, don’t rob the hive.
tiredofyall
Interesting thanks!
joebellson
Thanks!!
LoveAlways
That's amazing!
BigFckingRocket
I wonder if there is anything intrinsic to the varied design of wild bee honeycombs that would result in the honey having a better
BigFckingRocket
taste. Maybe the whole “happy cows make better milk” idea could apply here. Might make for a cool business idea if you could market
ttimbric
No, it literally is artwork. All of nature is.
JCBalance
Even malaria?
Bioman998
Technically yes, it does have a function. It kills people.
BuzzJump
Just me being alive proves you wrong
BigFckingRocket
“All of nature Is artwork”
paleofuturism
they're pretty awesome looking, but they're proper assholes!
BigFckingRocket
With a few exceptions, most birds are completely unforgiving cunts. Unless you’re feeding them. Then they are too preoccupied to hate you.
ViolentlyOfferingBeerToSheep
except roosters, they will still attack you and each other for daring to exist
BigFckingRocket
They hit the nail on the head naming them cocks
ratcamper
Ah. Beautiful.
fairybug
Came her looking for people posting pics of the ugly side of nature, & was disappointed.
BigFckingRocket
pure art
HillCountryRambler
Here you go.
Shimobe
Eh. Most artwork has no practical function. All of nature does.
BigFckingRocket
Improving the aesthetics of your home with art is a practical function, unless you prefer to live in a blank and soulless box.
Ferlin7
If you're using this to say that nature isn't art, you've got an illogical conclusion. By your own admission SOME art has a purpose. That 1/
Ferlin7
means that your other statement that nature has a purpose doesn't disqualify it. I think that's why some don't understand you. Your 2/
Ferlin7
conclusion is incredibly illogical. You can have whatever opinion you want about art, but please don't ridicule people for failing to 3/
Shimobe
Nice strawman. I haven't made that conclusion at all. You've assumed I made it, when I've really just implied exactly what you've explained.
Ferlin7
follow poor logic. End.
acme64
i fail to see how your statement invalidates his
Shimobe
It's good that you can admit your failures so publicly.
acme64
i mean, it either is or isn't and your statement doesn't specify. how could anyone make sense of that?
