Miracle Of The Honeybee

honeybee
As we know, honey bees produce much more than the needs and store it in honeycombs. Have you ever thought that why bees construct hexagonal honeycombs?


(All the bees on Earth know that combs have to be constructed according to very specific angles.)

Mathematicians looking for answer to this question reached an interesting conclusion: "Hexagonal geometric shape best suited for maximum utilization of a field." Hexagonal cell, storing the maximum amount of honey, wax for the construction of which requires at least figure. So the bee uses the most appropriate way.

The method used in the construction of the comb is a very surprising: Bees honeycomb construction, starting from different places, doing the same size as hexagons, honeycomb In a twist by adding them to each other at the end of the meet in the middle. Joints made ​​of hexagons so skillfully that it contains no trace of sight when they are added later.
