Why nuts are hexagonal in shape?
If they were square they would take up more area and the edges may get in the way or take up space, also if you had a square head then it would be easier for the metal to get stripped or deformed which would make it harder for the tool to loosen it. If the head was round, the you couldn't get a tool to grip the edges of it, so you couldn't screw it in good or loosen it. Basically, hexagonal is the most efficient shape for a nut.
How many bees needed to make pound?

What shapes do you need to make a hexagonal pyramid?
2 hexagons and six triangles
What shapes make up the net of a hexagonal prism?
Two hexagons and six rectangles
How many balls of cay and straw are needed to make a hexagonal pyramid?

What do bees do in their hives?
They make honeycombs that's where you get honey from.
Why do bees make a hexagonal shape?
Bees have been designed with an inbuilt ability to build perfect hexagonal shapes which have been shown to be the most efficient use of space. It also makes the comb very strong.
Where do bees get the wax to make honeycombs?
honey trying to protect there food with the wax they make.
Why bees make hexagonel hives?
It's not the hives that are hexagonal, it's the wax cells that the bees construct within the hive and the shape makes for greater strength and efficient use of space.
What material do bees make their honeycomb out of?
They make their comb out of beeswax, which is produced from wax glands on the underside of the abdomens of young worker bees.
Why are bees hive hexaonal?
A bee hive isn't hexagonal. The cells that bees make from wax inside a bee hive are hexagonal and the bees use these cells to raise young bees and to store honey and pollen.
Is beeswax honey?
No, beeswax is extruded from wax glands on the underside of the abdomen of worker bees as thin plates of wax. These are manipulated by the bees' manidbles to shape them and put them where the bee wants them.
Where did tesellations come from?
Regular tessellations can only be done with three shapes: squares, triangle and hexagons. Which would make bees (who make honeycombs) the first true tessellators!
What shape do bees make use to make a beehive?
The cells made by bees in a hive are all hexagons.
How many rectangles do you need to make a hexagonal prism?
You cannot make a hexagon out of rectangles and so you will never be able to make the two bases of the hexagonal prism. And these two hexagons, after all, are what give the shape its name.
How much money does it take to make 8oz of honey?
It takes no money to make honey- honey is made by bees, and bees do not use money. However, people keep bees, and harvest the honey they make- and that can cost money. However, the exact cost to produce 8 ounces of honey will depend on how large of a bee keeping operation you have, and how you are extracting honey from the honeycombs.
What is the largest 3D shape?
