Excellent question to which the beekeeping specialists should dedicate themselves immediately, or it seems that the bees wanted to tell us something important

Şerban Procheş

I suppose it offers the possibility of gradual enlargement without starting an brand new layer - more flexibility in the approach growth. Awesome stuff.

Bees are one of the smart creatures. The planar hexagonal design of honeycomb is purely mathematical. It is to maximize the planar area and boundary in which hexagons have and sake of stability. The helixial design what we see from the graph indicates again the intricate and mathematical design of optimization and stability to create a rising structure to make their honey than on a wide stretch of flat surface which might not hold the weight of the honey and crumbled and fail. This design of bees parallels our urge to build high rise buildings for maximum use of people with small plot of land. We learn more precision and purposeful designs from nature.
