Explaining Insects 🦋 on Instagram: "Honeycomb is the wax structure built by bees inside their hive, made up of perfectly shaped hexagonal cells. These cells are used to store honey and pollen and to raise larvae. The hexagon shape isn’t random—it’s the most efficient design in nature, allowing bees to store the maximum amount of honey using the least amount of wax. Bees produce the wax from special glands on their bodies, then carefully shape it with their legs and mandibles. Honeycomb also hel

Explaining Insects 🦋 on Instagram: "Honeycomb is the hexagonal wax structure built by bees inside their hive. It serves multiple purposes at once: storing honey, holding pollen, and providing cells where larvae grow. The hexagon shape is not random—it’s the most efficient geometry for maximizing storage space while using the least amount of wax, making honeycomb both strong and energy-efficient.
