cThe beginning of a beehive! This is called a ‘festoon’ of bees and it’s actually how bees work together to build the amazing honeycomb structure of a beehive. They link their legs together to form a little living chain of bees and the exact reason why they do this remains a mystery. Some people think they’re doing this as a way of measuring the distance they need to build comb, or to act as scaffolding to pass wax from one bee to another, or to raise the temperature inside the comb construction
