Is the hive made by people or bees?

Bees.

Beehives are made of bees, and beehives and sampans are made by hand. I want to treat rhinitis with beehives. My friend brought me a honey nest, which tastes bad. I suspect it is handmade.

There are roughly two kinds of beehives, mainly

One is that bees make their own nests out of beeswax. Generally, domestic bees (Chinese bees) use soil to build their own nests, and these hives are all pure natural beeswax.

One is an artificial foundation made of beeswax (thinner than a beehive), and then bees overlap it to make a complete beehive. Some of these hives are artificial, not necessarily made of pure natural beeswax, but the overlapping part is made of bees, which is natural beeswax.

The bee tribe thinks it is better to answer this question from the structure of the nest and spleen. Nest spleen is composed of thousands of nests made of beeswax by bees, and the hive of bees is composed of several to dozens of nests. Worker bees store honey and pollen in the nest room of the nest spleen.

They also wax the queen bee with propolis and let it lay eggs in it. Bee larvae are raised and grow in the nest room. They spin silk to make cocoons and pupate. Therefore, the components contained in the nest spleen are very complicated, and honey, beeswax, bee pollen, royal jelly, propolis, bee cocoon coat, larva secretion and other components may exist in the nest spleen.
