How do
#honeybees adapt their comb-building to different spatial constraints? A new study from
@oritpeleg.bsky.social &co uses 3D printed panels and X-ray microscopy to reveal the existence of three distinct construction modes, from tilting cells to building complex 3D structures.🧪

Honeybees adapt to a range of comb cell sizes by merging, tilting, and layering their construction
Honeybees often need to build their comb under conditions that prevent a regular hexagonal lattice. This study uses 3D printed panels and X-ray microscopy to explore their adaptive process when differ...
