Hello econologists,
here is a photo sent to me by my sister. We don't really know what it is, but bees often turned in this corner, a covered courtyard, where chairs were stored.
It looks like cement, she didn't dare touch it.
Does that tell you something? Bees can do this kind of thing ???
Thank you for your help. Biz

Hello,
Bees don't do that kind of thing. The glands under their abdomen secrete the wax as well as the harder propolis which can be used as a varnish.
Apparently, the photo looks like the external structure of a defeated wasp nest. It should have the structure of paper (woody fibers that wasps grind with their mandibles to build their nest).
