It's one of the only shapes which tessellates perfectly (think tiles, if you tiled a wall with hexagons then there wouldn't be any gaps. Of the shapes which tessellate perfectly (triangle, square, hexagon) it has the smallest perimeter for its area i.e. a square of area 10cm^2 has a greater perimeter than that of a hexagon with an area of 10cm^2.
So, if you were a bee trying to make a honeycomb then the hexagon is best because it would use least wax to make a certain area of comb (because of the perimeter/area ratio) and also not waste any space (because it tessellates without leaving any gaps).
Hope that helps.

What shape have 6 sizes?
A shape with six sides is called a hexagon. Hexagons can have various sizes, but they typically have six equal sides and angles in a regular hexagon. An irregular hexagon, on the other hand, can have sides of different lengths and angles. Hexagons are commonly found in nature, such as in honeycomb structures.
How many sides are on 7 hexagons?
A hexagon has six sides. Therefore, to find the total number of sides on seven hexagons, you can multiply the number of sides in one hexagon by the number of hexagons: 6 sides/hexagon × 7 hexagons = 42 sides. So, seven hexagons have a total of 42 sides.
