Honeycomb
If you analyze the way bees construct the honeycomb, the hexagonal structure gives the greatest strength and the largest number of cells in a given area using the least amount of wax.

Hexagonal - six edges and six vertices.
They have two sides, an inside and an outside. However human cells do not have any one fixed shape.
If there was such a thing as a honey cone, it would be conical in shape. A honeycomb is composed of hexagonal (6-sided) structures.
Not really sure. It could be that the favourite shape of a honey bee is a hexagon!
No, but certainly are hexagonal prisms. A typical honeycomb will have hundreds.
A cell where honey is stored is called a honeycomb cell. Bees store honey in these wax cells within their hives. Honeycomb cells are hexagonal in shape and are perfectly designed to store and protect the honey.
Tripe- the lining of a cow's stomach that has the hexagonal appearance of honeycomb.
Bees make hexagonal honeycomb cells because it is the most efficient shape for storing the most honey using the least amount of wax. The hexagonal shape allows for cells to be tightly packed together, maximizing storage capacity while minimizing material usage. Additionally, the angles of the hexagon provide structural stability to the honeycomb.
Honeycomb cells are hexagonal.
The six-sidedness of hexagons is the shape of cells in beehives. Marcus Terentius Varro (116 B.C. to 27 B.C.), ancient Roman scholar and writer from what is now the central Italian city and commune of Riati in Lazio, opined that hexagons allow bees to construct the smallest total perimeter for holding more money, leaving no gaps, and using less building wax. That conjecture was proven mathematically in 1999 by Thomas Callister Hales (born June 4, 1958), currently Mellon Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.
