Beeswax

"Wax is a very nice building material but it's expensive."

      entomologist Francis Ratnieks

Hexagon to hexagon –

(More storage space)

Just start at the ceiling and work your way down

Because opposites just keep falling.

(and so, if a bees’ nest is memory).

      Secretion and Mixture.

Some adverbs.  Some spit.  Some dust.

      Ohh yeah, and each has a role to play.

            Assigned.

Wax is less brittle in deep heat,

Bees swarm: temperatures shoot to 95^o

So they can mold the wax,

      Articulate their vision.
