A honey bee facing away from us, her striped abdomen slightly elevated. Small, white, semi-translucent, roughly oval flakes of beeswax emerge from four pairs of glands on the underside of her abdomen. Credit: Honeybee Discovery Center

TIL that honey bees literally secrete beeswax FROM THEIR OWN BODIES, specifically from glands in their abdomen, eight neat flakes at a time. They then chew these flakes and mold them into cells in their hive, which are used to store pollen, honey, and eggs/larvae/pupae

We're living in a landscape of novel ecosystems, emerging in every part of the world.

The topic has been ably covered in this BBC article on "freakosystems" by Matthew Ponsford @interspecies.agency
