Because hexagons are the bestagons! Btw I have seen the others comments on other videos but I thought of it before I read the comments, so it's not copying.

I suppose you could use the honeycomb conjecture to help describe why the center of a planet core could be hexagonal. If the core was very magnetic, it could create a hexagonal imprint on the planets surface, like on Saturn north pole?

They are not. Its called instincts. They have it naturaly without thinking about it. Therefore, still not cleverer than us. Sometimes i feel like i am the only human on the whole planet, that knows exactly that we as a species ARE infact very very clever. Because we think. Animals often dont think. They have it in their bodies already. So sick of those "humans are so dumb" arguments....

There is something to be said about the peaceful droning of the bees wings along with the shape hexagon of the honeycomb and the fact that honeycomb never goes bad. Unity:)

The bees obviously use a ruler every time, for every side. One of the bees studied architecture and designed the specific hive. He has to wear a hat during construction.

I am most interested in the formation of the first hexagon of a honeycomb…is it a specific bee? Does the vibration thereafter resonate in a way other bees just need to plug away?

Agree. Would it not have been easier to construct the shapes in the same amount of space and then see which holds the most water or honey? Further it might be that bees find it easier to make a hexagon shape than any other shape, and that holding maximum quantity honey is not the reason for the hexagon shape.

@@atticuskilby515mayb it's the vibration from the buzzing of the bees that forms the hexagon shape.

the honey bee shows in the wild that is uses force on the comb until it can not be forced and moves on. By having a force applied in just 3 directions this is achieved with out thinking about space but deal with wax generated from glands and chewing it and placing it. There is no debate it is just a piece of wax placed sometimes its a line or a dot but it will turn into a hexagon no mater how it starts. It is litterally a force of a honey bee pressing in 3 directions and that is all. Just like your dark matter it is litterally everything that does not emit light like the core of the earth and dust.

SAVE THE BEES

Why is the consideration of wax collapsing to a hexagon a thing. Wax when for example a wax candle collapses doesn’t fall evenly, why is it supposedly that it will collapse to a hexagon? Curious

Cuz they are born in that they were like tadpole like frog and many days they will hatch and build theire home cause they born there so they make it home even its hexagon

Darwin writes about bees and their hexagon in his, "On the Origin of Species." Right before his discussion about bees, Darwin writes about ants. Darwin's musings on ants are some of the funniest stuff I've ever read. Darwin knew that if he used certain words when describing ants, he'd crack-up his readers. Strange to find laughs inside Darwin, but these laughs are there.
