Amazing. The collective can build a hive like that. No bosses, no strife or bickering.. they just get it done... I mean who knows to do what? How are they assigning duties?

The queen pops down an egg and a worker yells `I got it!`

He means expensive in terms of energy of the chemical bonds of molecules that make up wax. These molecules are mainly hydrocarbons with many C-C and C-H bonds (like those present in fatty acids, which animals use to store energy, and gasoline). Ultimately, all life depend on energy to survive. With so much of these high energy bonds used on construction material rather than as fuel for the organism, hence beeswax is expensive for bees to produce.
