Busy Bees Use Flower Petals For Nest Wallpaper : NPR

Got a girl cursh on: The Osmia Avoseta Mama Bee

A team of scientists from the American Museum of Natural History recently discovered this special species of Trukish bees that builds papier mache-like nests using flower petals.

How does it work? The mother bee constructs each nest by biting and carrying each petal one by one, layering each peace until it forms a peanut sized cocoon. She makes about ten of these, placing one right next to the other, and each houses just one tiny egg.

This honey’s got mad decoratin’ skillz.
