Festooning is a term used in beekeeping. Thousands of bees can be utilized in a single festooning event. Bees festoon in a temporary swarming event and inside the beehive when forming structures made of beeswax.
Inside the beehive bees form a scaffold by holding to each other. This act of festooning allows house bees to climb on hanging bees to construct wax comb structures.
