The wild bees are true architects of nature. They chew wood into pulp, transforming it into paper to build suspended nests high up in the air. Inside these nests, they carefully craft hexagonal cells where they lay their eggs. The mother bees seal the cells to protect the eggs, and soon, tiny larvae emerge. Amazingly, without any formal training, the young bees instinctively expand their nests, ensuring that they don’t fall under the weight. Another species of wild bee crafts perfect little pots out of mud, where they lay their eggs before sealing them up. Guided by nature’s design, these tiny creatures grow into master builders themselves.
