Waste Not, Want Not..

In our modern consumer society, the safe disposal of garbage and dangerous waste products has become a nightmare..
In contrast, God's creation is a marvel of economy and recycling.. Take, for example, the honeycomb..
Beeswax, the building material of the honeycomb, is an expensive commodity.

A honeybee needs 1/2 ounce of honey and an undetermined amount of pollen to make just 1/32 ounce of beeswax..
How do the bees budget their beewax?
" The wax walls of the honeycomb's cells come together in threes at 120- degree angles,
forming a regular array of hexagons," explains the book..

" By Nature's Design." This pattern lets the bees minimize the amount of wax they use,
while providing a rigid structure in which to store honey."

So an ingenious structure combines beauty of form with economy of function,
and it can be recycled!
