[National Geographic Wallpaper] Honeybee (꿀벌)


Unknown location, United States
1992
Maria Stenzel

"Getting hands on a queen bee is mail-order easy. Bee breeders send them in a cage to beekeepers, who place the captive in a queenless hive. During the two days it takes the hive's residents to eat through the cage's candy plug, they grow accustomed to the scent of their new leader. Upon liberation, the queen begins laying eggs in the hive's hexagonal cells. Three weeks later, worker bees emerge."

???From "America’s Beekeepers: Hives for Hire," May 1993, National Geographic magazine
