>"They build cylinders, which then deform under pressure into the "toth" crystalline structure we
know as a bee cell, just as adjacent soap bubbles blown between two sheets of glass will deform."

If the wax was so warm that it deformed then surely the whole comb would collapse.

Incidentally, various search engines do not find 'toth' structures.
