Comment on wax on

I knew the bees had to be secreting wax somehow. But I always imagined it to be some kind of secondary oral process. Instead they really use… specialized pores under the segments in their thorax?

Now I don’t know which version grosses me out more.

Definitely the latter, for me; something about segmented holes just grosses the absolute Hell out of me.

  I’ve got bad news for you about woolen fabrics…

    Haha; I think the wool’s too fuzzy and not rigid enough to bother me. I’ve been trying to get more into the fiber arts in the last few years, too, so definitely not a problem that I’ve noticed.

  Trypophobia?

    Almost definitely; I don’t know if there’s a degree that’s necessary to qualify as I can still look at it without breaking eye contact (though I hate it). But I have a deep desire to rip that shit up the entire time; deeply repulsive, whatever the reason. Honeycombs don’t bother me, though; I dunno.

  Easy, stored in the bee-balls, that’s why they’re called BBs.
