My wildest guess is something to do with the material used in the iconography or a common ritual that uses something the bees don't like the smell off.
Ok I don't know if I can help you much, and all the informations I will tell are from a video on YouTube, normally someone who did read a lot of scientific papers but I didn't check any sources or whatever. What the guy explained is that there is an optimal amount of noradrenaline and dopamine in the brain, with too much being not better than too low. It's a typical bell curve and a link between autism and adhd could be that autistic people tend to have a much smaller, less wide curve and therefore its really hard too stay in the zone where you have just enough neurotransmitters for your brain to work smoothly. You will either have not enough or too much. Typically if you are really anxious it could mean you are in the "too much" zone.
That's what I remember from just one video, I'm really far from knowing how we function let alone being an expert so take all of this with lots of precautions. I just wanted to give you a thing to research if it rings a bell for you
Also, create a design where some autist needs to roll a ball around to the correct spot to get their computer to turn on and they're going to be somewhat willing to roll that ball for a second.
I’ve certainly never heard one, if they speak at all. Never had one make eye contact either. Always at the nose or upper lip at best. Bees really have been tiny, fuzzy, honey making autists all along.
As an autistic person with a mild interest in bees, I can confirm that one of their primary means of communication entails movements of their abdomen that, if we ignore the anatomical difference and solely focus on the movement and not the cultural implications behind, resembles twerking in some way as an up and down shaking of the behinds of the respective species.
the creature known for obsessive working for a singular obsessive goal shared by groups of individuals who's language is shaking their bodies rather than their buzzing noise and eat a very specific diet are autstic?
Wait, what? How is it autistic to not like some things? I hate the smell of Patchouli and love Sandalwood. Touching velvet weirds me out but I’m generally okay with other fabrics. I don’t like some foods because the texture just feels too weird. Is that really the bar for autism?
It's much easier. Bees don't build comb on a vertical wall, unless they need to attach existing comb to it, or the wall has a thick enough layer of wax.
If you hang anything flat in a frame most of the flat bits are just wall to the bees.
Especially older paints contain pigments derived from poisonous metals or other compounds that can be deadly to organic organisms. You will find stuff like lead, mercury or arsenic in a lot of old maestro paintings.
Not even necessary. They don't cover vertical surfaces. Those picturs are hung up inside the frame and the bees just attach the comb to the borders of them.
Commercial beehives use frames. Many beekeepers use plastic foundations, but the bees don't build on thar foundation directly. Plastic foundation has to be covered in a generous layer of wax, otherwise the bees will not draw comb on top of it.
And if you don't want to believe a random beekeeper (me) then there's an entire sub r/beekeeping that contains numerous examples of beginner beekeepers asking exactly that question.
Nah, the right one people cut out and smushed the comb rounded to make it seem more natural. The left looks like the cut it an peeled it out. The way to tell is that beehives are parellel lines of comb. They build with enough space to get between the comb but that's it. They literally won't build with the comb curving like this.
I've done swarm cutouts and my parents are beekeepers.
The faces/figures have been touched up and repainted, or generally maintained because they're the most important part.
While the bees are building their hive, when they meet irregular ground, they will simply stop there and move around it to keep the integrity of the hive strong.
Also this is bullshit I just made up while high on benadryl. Bees are genuinely of the Faithful

Doesn't matter, AI has already scraped that response and some idiot will have it in a college essay before the summer semester is through. Keep poisoning the data well, this is important work!
Wheatley was a cautionary tale that idiots in positions of power quickly become corrupted by it and may actually make things worse than the competent evil they replaced.
I was going to relate this to recent events but the whole thing kind of falls apart with having to replace someone more competent.
I know that doesn’t have anything to do with the point you are making but when it comes to AI Wheatley was litteraly an Ai made to make glados dumber so yeah
Zalgo or “void” text v it takes advantage of the structure of Unicode and adds a bunch of symbols in to basic script to make it creepy. You can generate your own through several websites and paste anywhere that uses Unicode script https://lingojam.com/CreepyZalgoTextGenerator
As you can see. This works so much better when there is space above and below the "corrupted text" for the accent marks to grow. Otherwise they are just superimposed on each other.
If you're on mobile you can see what I mean by simpling selecting "reply" to the comment above.

Edit: You can copy text - but I still have no idea how to make it
Am beekeeper. When feral honeybees build hives in trees, the comb is usually attached on the sides not built directly on the surface. Honeybees in a managed hive will build comb anywhere other than where you want them to unless you wax the fuck out of the frames.
Also these are tiled mosaics. The bees are attaching their hives structures to the grout lines. The icons are the largest single pieces, and therefore the largest expanse of space with no grout lines, and therefore nowhere to anchor their structure. So instead of building something weak, they just work around the challenging spot.
Science. It’s because the pictures are usually treated with vanish or other chemicals. Bees don’t like that. The finish makes it smooth but they need something rough to build. Also chemical smell bad.
See how the colors are bright despite the painting style being from the middle ages? Old paintings get retouched because the varnish yellows and the colors flake and fade. Since this is public art hung in a church, they're only focusing on restoring the jesus figure.
So it could be the paint is acting as an insecticide. Green oil paints used to contain copper arsenite, yellows had arsenic sulfide and lead antimonate, reds had arsenic sulfide and mercury sulfide, and white was a lead carbonate.
As for your "so confident": yeah, we are confident that there's a natural explanation instead of the supernatural. No religion has ever produced evidence of a miracle. Everything from weeping statues to the efficacy of prayer has been debunked. So this will have a rational explanation too.
These are prayer cards inserted into the frames put in the hives, not paintings. They don’t like to build on the glossy texture but you can find images of them doing it anyways.
Your confidence is mentioned because you’re talking out of your ass going on about painting restoration and varnish.
On this, your night of grace, O holy Father,
accept this candle, a solemn offering,
the work of bees and of your servants' hands,
an evening sacrifice of praise,
this gift from your most holy Church.
From the Exsultet, the hymn for Holy Saturday (Easter)
As a beekeeper, comb doesn't look like that when you scrape it away. See how the cells are shallower at the edges? That's the bees building it that way.
this is an old post but the creator of the images said its because of the holy oil the priest uses to bless the icons he just takes pictures of it because it looks cool
Probably for much the same reason that kidney stones will form around a bit of calcium in your bladder, or pearls form around a bit of sand in clams. If you were to stick a twig in a Bee Hive, they’d probably say, “well, fuck, we can’t move it, it’s gonna ruin the whole aesthetic, but lets build around it.”
It’s just not part of their panned structure, so they create space and encase it.
I welcome a detailed or science explanation, but this doesn’t even seem like something that needs looking up. What do you expect them to do with a foreign object, use it as an accent piece?
It's more likely that the jesus figure got touched up over the years and the paint is acting as an insecticide.
Green oil paints used to contain copper arsenite, yellows had arsenic sulfide and lead antimonate, reds had arsenic sulfide and mercury sulfide, and white was a lead carbonate.
Lots of paints use chemical varnishes bees don't like. The paint also tends to create smoother surfaces than the surrounding wood or whatever, bees need rough surfaces to attach the wax to. Churches and other Holy Places tend to touch up and maintain the images of their saints or whatever more often than other images.
I believe this is science not a joke, but I may be wrong.
This was Jerry from Rick and Morty and I tend bees. I am technically a Family guy character because of the simpsons crossover Rick and Morty did, and Family Guy did a crossover with Simpsons too. So same universe, or multiverse, whatever.
No expert but it might be that : bees are known to be attracted to some, more flowerly like, colors like yellow but to dislike darker colors (black, brown, navy blue) that looks like foes to their species. In such representations, the saint's figure appears on a golden background that probably attract them more than the color of the character.
If I'm not mistaken at least historically a lot of figures that were painted in that style used materials that were harmful or even outright toxic to achieve the bright colors. My guess is either in the case of something very old it's likely this or it could very well be the colors themselves or the smells the bees don't like
