 July 2018, I did an experiment with plantfiber cellulose and bacterial cellulose that I attached to a frame in which the bees normally build comb for storing their honey. I want to research how the bees accept these cellulose materials, which are constructed out of polymers made of repeating glucose molecules attached end to end. ... //'In addition, cellulose is a straight chain polymer, and each cellulose molecule is long and rod-like. This differs from starch, which is a coiled molecule. A result of these differences in structure is that, compared to starch and other carbohydrates, cellulose cannot be broken down into its glucose subunits by any enzymes produced by animals.'// https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_fiber July 2018, I did an experiment with plantfiber cellulose and bacterial cellulose that I attached to a frame in which the bees normally build comb for storing their honey.

But, good news! The bees did not touch at all the microbial cellulosethe piece is still completely intact,, after 1 month in the beehive.
