Why Bees Build Hexagonal Honeycombs
In Cambridge, a team of researchers specializing in entomology and mathematical biology has released new findings explaining why honeybees build hexagonal cells in their nests. This structural choice, they assert, is not random but a highly optimized result of evolution to maximize storage while economizing wax usage.According to lead scientist Dr. Evelyn Hart, the hexagon’s unique property enable...More
