First they draw out the shape in hexagons with wax secreted from special glands in their body then build the sides up. They strengthen the cells with propolis made from plants. Honey is then stored in some and brood ( eggs, larvae and young bees) in other groups of cells. In a manmade beehive structure, the brood is in the lower part and the honeycomb in the upper part.

Bumble bees usually make their hives in holes in the ground, usually abandoned rodent burrows. Some species of bees don't even make hives and instead are solitary and nest on the ground or in holes in wood.
