I believe the hexagonal tiling maximizes area while minimizing perimeter, right?
A circle should have the greatest area per perimeter and I can't think of a regular polygon with more sides that tessellates.
Is there any paleontological evidence for insects that made less efficient hives? That would be interesting to look into.
Although I gotta imagine bugs probably figured this stuff out so long ago there might not be much evidence anymore
Haha, good question. I'm going to look at the bee family. I wonder what those fossils would look like...
You mean they skipped 4. Pointed polygons and chosen a hexagon instead. What's their problem with right angles.
