Bees will reuse the honeycomb, though a beekeeper may change the comb every year, replacing it with fresh comb foundation. By doing this the beekeeper can harvest the wax, and bees have fresh comb every year which reduces the likelihood of disease and pests building up in the comb.

Where do bees get the wax to make honeycombs?
honey trying to protect there food with the wax they make.
How is honey obtained from bees?
After the bees have made the honey, they store it in honeycombs; small cells sealed with wax. If these honeycombs are made a certain way, they can be remover and replaced easily. A beekeeper takes out the honeycomb, cuts the wax off, and lets the honey flow out into a collection container (then replaces the used honeycomb). The honey is then taken away and processed into what we see in the jars at the supermarket.
What is the most surprising thing researchers found about the way bees build their honeycombs?
Researchers have found that bees build their honeycombs using a remarkable hexagonal structure, which is surprisingly efficient in terms of space and material use. The hexagon allows bees to maximize storage capacity while minimizing the amount of wax they need to produce. Additionally, studies have shown that the bees may start with circular cells that naturally transform into hexagons due to the heat and pressure from their bodies, highlighting their remarkable adaptability and efficiency in construction. This unique building technique showcases the intricate engineering skills of these insects.
Is honey bees food or poop?
The purpose of the honey that a bee produces, is to feed itself and other occupants of the hive throughout the winter months when little or no nectar is available. The bees usually produce more than they can use which allows a beekeeper to harvest the excess.
How do honey bees make honey combs?
Honey bees create honeycombs by secreting beeswax from glands on their abdomen. They then mold the beeswax into the hexagonal cells of the comb using their mouths and legs. The comb serves as a storage unit for honey, pollen, and eggs within the hive.
What lipid does bees create to build honeycombs?
Bees secrete beeswax to build honeycombs. Beeswax is a natural lipid produced by glands on the bee's abdomen.
What do bees do in their hives?
They make honeycombs that's where you get honey from.
What type lipid does bees create this lipid to build honeycombs?
Bees create beeswax, a type of lipid, to build honeycombs. Beeswax is produced from special glands on the bees' abdomen and is used as a protective coating for the honeycomb cells.
How beekeepers gather the honey from a beehive?
They smoke out the bees before removing the honeycombs.
Where do bees get the wax to make honeycombs?

What structures do the honeybee use to build their homes?
Bees build their homes in honeycombs. The honeycombs are a series of hexagonal cells. See related links for a drawing showing the parts of a domestic honeybee hive.
What material do bees make their honeycomb out of?
They make their comb out of beeswax, which is produced from wax glands on the underside of the abdomens of young worker bees.
Why do bees use hexagons to build honeycombs?
because that is their known shape and the queen bee likes that shape ,sincerly bee expert

What is the biological source of honey?
Honey is produced by bees from the nectar of flowers. Bees collect nectar and then regurgitate and store it in honeycombs, where enzymes break it down into a concentrated sugar solution that eventually becomes honey.
Why do bees make honeycombs in a hexagonal shape?
That's a very good question. I'm a beekeeper but I don't know the answer to that one. Maybe Mike does.
When was The Honeycombs created?
The Honeycombs was created in 1963.
