Researchers freely: It was discovered that bees also produce 'silk'

Scientists have discovered for the first time that bees can produce silk just like silkworms. Research shows that these creatures are able to form silk threads that are extremely flexible, durable, and strong. This situation is considered a surprising development in the biology world.

The discovery requires a re-evaluation of what is known about the anatomical abilities of bees. It is thought that the high flexibility and strength properties of the produced thread could also create new sources of inspiration for engineering and materials science.
