Although the 3,300 bees that NASA sent into space in 1984 struggled to navigate in weightless conditions during their first few days, they adapted and built honeycomb within about a week. The bees created cells with a different slope than those on Earth, but with the same shape and depth.

More than four decades ago, scientists from the United States space agency NASA sent unique passengers to orbit to test the limits of the adaptation of living organisms.
