Detailed explanation-3: -How Do Honey Bees Make Their Hives? Honey bees make their nests out of wax they secrete from glands in their abdomens. Most of the hive is comb, a series of interlocking hexagonal cells made of this wax. To make wax, a worker bee eats honey and converts the sugar inside her body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Beehives serve several purposes: production of honey, pollination of nearby crops, housing supply bees for apitherapy treatment, and to try to mitigate the effects of colony collapse disorder. In America, hives are commonly transported so that bees can pollinate crops in other areas.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bees typically make their hives in straw, pottery, or wood. The structure is a densely packed group of hexagon shaped cells made of honeycomb and propolis. (Propolis is a substance collected by bees from tree buds.) They then use propolis to fill crevices and seal parts of the honeycomb.
