Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgj40wcczg" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />We investigated the wettability and adhesive behavior of a natural honeycomb wall for water and honey droplets. The cell walls have hydrophobic and highly adhesive properties for both water and honey. The cell wall film can hold water and honey in air, even though the film is turned upside down.</p> </abstract>
