RE: Hexagon in nature: why is the honeycomb hexagonal?
"You can see that hexagon offers the most economic division of a planar surface area into units with respect to the length of the material required for division of the cells." Another fact of life that doesn't stop making me wonder.
Were there also populations of bees making squared or round honeycombs and they died out because of the lack of adaptation?
That is a perspective which I'd love to know about too.
