bee nests

Wow.  Look at this amazingness that I found over at Hither and Tither:


Isn't that beautiful?  Can you guess what it is?  Well, I guess my title gives it away...but it's a nest made out of flower petals by a bee!  The bees, found in Turkey and Iran, build these nests that measure over half and inch long to house just one egg.  They are not like the typical buzzing honey bees we know in America, but are rather quite solitary creatures.



If you want to know more, check out the article on NPR.org about this incredibly gorgeous phenomenon.
