Honeybees lay eggs inside these hexagonal cells and store their honey in them. But
why are all honeycomb cells shaped the same?
First, a hexagonal shape saves more space than other shapes. What if bees built their
honeycomb cells with circular shapes? There would be gaps between the circles. A hexagonal
shape doesn’t leave gaps and therefore saves space.
What about a triangular or square shape? Both of these fit together without gaps. But
more wax is needed to make them. A hexagonal shape uses less wax.
Hexagonal shapes can sit safely and tightly against each other. This makes the
honeycomb structure very strong. So, it rarely breaks.
