Waxy structure in a bee hive?

The waxy structure in a bee hive is called either the honey comb, or the brood comb, or the pollen comb, depending upon what the bees are putting into the cells of the comb. The comb is made of a waxy polymer produced by the bees. We call that bee's wax. Bee's wax is produced by secretion. The bee secretes or exudes small sheets, or flakes of wax from their bodies. They are able to remove these wax flakes and apply them to the comb and, thereby, continue to enlarge or build the comb. This is not unlike someone building a brick wall. The wall is build by adding one brick at a time. The comb is build by adding one small flake of wax at a time. You also secrete wax from your body, kind of like the bee. One of the most common places we secrete wax is within our ear; in fact we call it ear wax.
