Lemon Chiffon Pie

This Honey Yellow Chiffon Pie was inspired by The Pie and Dough Book by Wine Impose Beranbaum, who (as far as I mate) created the honeycomb-topped pie framework. Can you recount how it's through? It strength face equivalent there's few attainment entangled in making those perfect indentations, but all you score to do is pressure strategy wrapper on top of the pie as it sets in the freezer.

And the bees! I made the bees by adding a couple of drops of yellow food coloring to a small bowl of white chocolate wafers, microwaving them together, and drizzling the melted mixture over some chocolate-covered raisins.
