If there is need for more combs, the workers form cur- tains by hanging on one another from the top of the hive or cavity. The temperature is raised and in a few hours wax-scales may be seen on the ventral sides of the abdo- mens of the hang- ing bees. Finally, some of these scales are removed and manipulated and the bees begin building new comb. The small pieces of wax are put approximately in the right place and are then sculptured and molded into.
