Bees construct hexagonal honeycombs because it’s mathematically the most efficient shape.
Hexagons provide the most storage space with the least amount of building material. This natural optimization shows how evolution can find mathematical optima. The pattern demonstrates the intersection of biology and geometry.

The sum of the angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees, but only on a flat surface.
On curved surfaces like a sphere, triangles can have angle sums greater than 180 degrees. This demonstrates how...
