Did you know that honeybees are math-y? It's true! When building their honeycomb, they create a pattern of interlocking hexagonal-shaped wax cells to store honey. This pattern is known as a "tesselation of hexagons."
Why hexagons, you might ask? Hexagons can fit perfectly, neatly, and tightly together, and they can share many of the same walls. So employing this shape enables bees to use space efficiently while using as little wax as possible.
Isn't math in nature astounding?
