Honeycomb sculptures

I want to take the animated gif down in the comments at Gizmodo, of Opra releasing the bees, but the thing is 2.9M, and that is unacceptable. I could not even reduce it in Photoshop, optimize it to make it worse, that did not work. It has 119 or so frames, mostly Opra hopping up and down. It's great. But way too big. Go there and see if you like, I think the thing is funny. Opra's audience prize is bees!

But the bees themselves featured in the article are not so good as I first thought. I realized,  "Hey! Oh bummer, the sculptures  are already in that shape. I thought the bees were doing it." That would have been something, but no, the bees are  just doing their natural thing. 

The artist, Libertíny,  coats a form with wax and the bees build on top of it. The sculptor provides the shape and encouragement to the bees. But the bees are just, eh, they are not so artistic as that. Oh, they're solid on hexagons alright, but that's it. Give 'em a little beer, a drop of acid,  and they're all over the place. Still. The effect is cool. The comments are as good, they take it as cue to toss out their bee-related  anims.
