HONEYCOMB

Bees do some pretty amazing things, one of which is creating their wonder of hexagonal cells, the honeycomb.
You may have seen a real honeycomb, but have you ever wondered why or how it was created?
The why is simple, bees need a place to store honey, pollen and their larvae.
As for the how, well ...
Bees make the honeycomb using wax from the glands in their stomachs or abdomen. In general, a bee needs to eat about two tablespoons of honey to make one ounce of wax, so making wax takes some time!
Some of the bees circle the wax using their body as a tool and then form the hexagonal cells.
But why hexagons?
Well, it seems that bees are quite good at math and geometry, as hexagonal structures are particularly strong and do not waste space when used as a building material.
The honeycomb is not only delicious, but can also be enjoyed as a delicious gift or as a unique gift.
