Squares, triangles, hexagons. Bees could build flat honeycomb from these three shapes, but they always choose hexagons. Why? 🐝 It turns out people have been asking this for over 2,000 years! In 36 B.C., a Roman soldier and scholar, Marcus Terentius Varro, came up with the 'Honeycomb Conjecture'. He proposed that a structure built from hexagons is more compact than one built from squares or triangles. And because it has a smaller total perimeter, it would need less wax. (Wax is expensive, for a
