Detailed explanation-1: -Honeycomb is a hexagonal cell structure made up of bee wax where honey bees collect and store the honey for future use.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bees store honey in their nest which is known as a beehive. It is a densely packed group of hexagonal cells made of beeswax (honeycomb).

Detailed explanation-3: -Store honeycomb at room temperature in a sealed container or jar and your honeycomb will keep as long as it takes you to eat it (not long for a bee charmer).

Detailed explanation-4: -Honeybees store their honey in the small hexagonal cells that make up comb. Comb is made of beeswax which the bees secrete from glands in their abdomen. This means that honey and the material used to store honey is 100% a product of honeybees.

Detailed explanation-5: -Honey bees make honey to store up as food to last them through the winter months. During the coldest time of year, there are fewer flowers from which to collect nectar and honey bees are unable to forage.
