Bees put honey inside the honeycomb to keep it safe. After filling each tiny space, they cover it with a layer of wax, like a lid, to close it up and protect the honey.
Here are some other ways to say that:
- Bees fill the honeycomb pockets with honey and then close them with wax.
- Bees store honey in the honeycomb and seal every cell with wax to keep it fresh.
- Inside the honeycomb, bees pour in honey and cover each spot with a wax cap.
- After filling the little honeycomb rooms with honey, bees seal them tight with wax.
