mtchristo,

You mean they skipped 4. Pointed polygons and chosen a hexagon instead. What’s their problem with right angles.

Less volume per unit of surface area

Yes, this is how I relate to bees.

I believe the hexagonal tiling maximizes area while minimizing perimeter, right?

ryathal,

It’s just what happens when wax deforms from pressure. You can do the same thing with plastic straws, if you pack them tightly, or compress them with your hands.

Abraxiel,

A circle should have the greatest area per perimeter and I can’t think of a regular polygon with more sides that tessellates.

BoastfulDaedra,

Bees would be the best goddamn software architects…

Boy that’s One Committed Bee!

gravitas_deficiency,

Hexagons are the bestagons
