    Bees construct their hives with hexagonal cells that provide the most efficient use of space and materials. The hexagonal shape allows the bees to maximize the number of cells within their hive while minimizing the amount of wax needed for construction. By using hexagons rather than alternative shapes, bees have instinctively found the optimal geometric solution to build a hive that houses the greatest number of bees within a set volume.

    Illustrate mathematically that the bees


    have instinctively found the best
    solution, evident in the hexagonal
    construction of their hives.
