The do start as circles! Bees spin on their butt laying the honeycomb. Mechanical pressure mashes them into hexagons.
And thats why you sometimes find pentagons, its just squished circles.

Hexagons are the bestagons
I’m very happy this has caught on.
Ah yes, bestagons
Yes. Hexagons are the bestagons
The hexagreatest
That’s… thats a fly, with stripes for some reason.
Tiger fly
There are a lot of bees that look like flies. Check out mason bees.
Shove the babies in them! And barf on them!
Obsessive Compulsive Beesorder?
Yes, this is how I relate to bees.

Boy that’s One Committed Bee!
You mean they skipped 4. Pointed polygons and chosen a hexagon instead. What’s their problem with right angles.
C’mon man, don’t be a square.
Less volume per unit of surface area
Why does it look like a fly?
sssshhhh is bee
Interesting. I haven’t really connected hexagons and circles like this.
It’s a whole thing in mathematics, in two or three dimensions, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Close-packing_of_equal_spheres
Fascinating.
Indeed.
