I knew the bees had to be secreting wax somehow. But I always imagined it to be some kind of secondary oral process. Instead they really use... specialized pores under the segments in their thorax?

Now I don't know which version grosses me out more.

    Definitely the latter, for me; something about segmented holes just grosses the absolute Hell out of me.

    Almost definitely; I don't know if there's a degree that's necessary to qualify as I can still look at it without breaking eye contact (though I hate it). But I have a deep desire to rip that shit up the entire time; deeply repulsive, whatever the reason. Honeycombs don't bother me, though; I dunno.
