What is this material? I purchased a CREB beehive earlier this year (surprise, surprise) that had this very long string of something in the glass. This photo is magnified greatly, but the material is probably no more than a hair in diameter in most places and winds all around the insulator and has loops and kinks that are unlikely if it were a fine piece of metal. In addition, not a single amber off-shoot on any of it again leading me to think it may not be metallic. I've had a piece with what I believed was perhaps strands of asbestos fiber from tongs and this material is much, much finer than that. Thanks for any insight provided!
