Why Do Shapes Fit Together Perfectly in a Honeycomb?

Imagine you have a bunch of shapes that need to fit together without any gaps or overlaps. Bees use hexagons because they are the most efficient shape for this job. If they used squares, there would be big gaps. If they used triangles, they’d need more pieces. Hexagons just work perfectly and save space and energy, kind of like how you can fit more boxes in a room if they all match.
