Wax On Wax Off Round
This waxy wheel Round is the hard work of 100,000 bees. In an amazing process, bees gather vast amounts of nectar and consume it to convert the sugar contents into wax. They have small glands on their abdomens which produce flakes of wax. Then, workers form an assembly line to chew and pass the wax from one to another to soften it up for use in constructing their honeycombs. Beelieve it or not!
