Because hexagons are very strong and sturdy. AND they tile very well! Thats why Bees use the shape, and if anything needs to be sturdy they use that shape! Of course, triangles are more sturdy. Thats why every house or bridge etc. always uses triangles!
Just look around you...On your house, there are brick walls. These are examples of non-regular tessellations...Look at pictures of honeycombs that bees live in. Those are examples of regular tessellations...Go on google or whatever you use and look up the artwork of M.C. Escher.
Because a hexagon shape makes the honeycomb very strong, so less prone to damage, but how the bees know that is a mystery.It is the most efficient use of space and gives the greatest number of cells for a given amount of wax.Actually, if you look more closely at honeycomb the cell itself is more or less circular. It is just that they are arranged in a hexagonal pattern.
the angle that players kick in soccer the angle they swing the bat in baseball the angle they shoot in basketball soccer balls have pentagons and hexagons on them
They do not use pentagons but hexagons. Hexagons are the most efficient division of a surface.
Bees build their homes in honeycombs. The honeycombs are a series of hexagonal cells. See related links for a drawing showing the parts of a domestic honeybee hive.

The cells made by bees in a hive are all hexagons.
Honey bees use nectar from flowers to make honey, which they store as food in their hives to feed the colony. Honey is not poop – it is a source of energy and nutrition for the bees. Honey bees also produce beeswax, which they use to build their honeycombs.
Animals use wax mostly to protect their skin from harmful bacteria. Honeybees also use wax to build honeycombs.
That form is the best use of space and gives the largest number of cells for the least amount of wax.
Honey is obtained from bees by extracting it from honeycombs in beehives. Beekeepers remove the frames containing honeycomb from the hive, then use a centrifuge to spin the honey out of the comb. The honey is then filtered and stored for consumption.
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.
Bees eat honey and sweat a wax from their body they use to build the hive.
No, bees do not use echolocation.
