Answer 2

The construction of nests is a fascinating subject. Imagine a large hotel that has several floors (stories) and a number of rooms on each floor. A bee or wasp's nest may have several floors, which are called combs, and on each comb many rooms, which are called cells.

Honey bees differ from wasps in that they construct combs that are vertical rather than horizontal with cells constructed on each side of the comb (See diagram). Unlike wasps who manufacture their own paper, bees use wax to build their nests. The wax is made in glands on the underside of the abdomen.

Honey bees construct their nests in tree hollows or more recently in man-made structures. Because wax becomes less brittle as temperature rises, the bees form a large hollow cluster within which the construction takes place. This results in the temperature of the construction site being around 95 oFarenheit.

Each bee secretes some wax and mixes it with saliva to make it easier to mold into the required shape. They start at the ceiling of their home and gradually work their way vertically downwards. While one cell is being completed other bees are already starting to form the cells beneath. In this fashion a whole comb is gradually formed. What the diagram does not show is that the combs are angled upward slightly to prevent honey running out and bees use their own heads as a tool to measure the incline. After a short period of time each cell will harden and a very strong nest is the result. The hive will support many times its own weight which is necessary as bees require a minimum of 35 pounds of honey to see them through the winter.

Answer 3

Yellowjackets, hornets and paper wasps make nests of paper. Honey bees and bumblebees make nests of wax. Solitary bees and wasps nest in holes in the ground, rotten wood or natural cavities. Some wasps even make mud nests.
