Why only hexagonal shapes in honeycomb structures?
Not really sure. It could be that the favourite shape of a honey bee is a hexagon!
Why are hexagons so common in nature?
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.

How many trapezoids in a hexagon?
Well, honey, a hexagon has six sides, so technically you can fit six trapezoids in there if you get creative with your shapes. But if you're talking about how many trapezoids can fit perfectly inside a hexagon without overlapping, then the answer is zero. Hexagons and trapezoids are like apples and oranges, they just don't fit together like that.
