Bees have evolved over a long period of time to design hives that amaze all designers

To find out, the industrious insect architectscalculated the areas of the triangle,the square and the hexagon and found that the hexagon was, in fact,the shape that gave them the most storage space.They agreed on an ideal size and returned to work.The space efficient comb that is a bee's trademark today,is probably the result of this trial and error,but over long periods of evolutionary history.However, it paid off.Peek into any hive with your protective goggles and netting on, of course and you'll see the end result: a beautiful compact honeycomb that any architect would have be proud to design.
