What are beehives made out of?

Bee hives are made from wax made by worker bees. These bees have special glands inside their abdomens that allow them to turn the sugar from flower nectar into wax. The bees chew the wax to soften it, and then they deposit it in the selected location to create the hive. read more

The beehive's internal structure is a densely packed group of hexagonal prismatic cells made of beeswax, called a honeycomb. The bees use the cells to store food (honey and pollen) and to house the brood (eggs, larvae, and pupae). read more

They are made of wax. The wax is produced by the bee's own bodies and they use it to make the comb . Sometimes they use a sticky substance called propolise.
