Why Are Honeycombs Hexagonal? How Do Bees Build Hexagonal Honeycombs | Now We Know - BYJU'S

Welcome to the first video of the brand new Now-We-know series, in which we will bring to you complex maths and science concepts in the simplest possible ways!
You must have noticed that bees use only hexagons to build their beehives. But why? What is so special about hexagons? Do bees understand geometry? Come, join us today as we enrol in the bee school of maths to unravel the secrets of nature (and polygons)!

The reason why a regular pentagon cannot be used to create a tessellation is because the measure of one of its interior angles does not divide into 360° evenly. In every tessellation, the points, called vertices, where the corners of the shapes meet each contain 360°.

[@premdhabale7561]

I like your videos aswin sir and other teacher .Understood the concept really well thanks

[@Md_sadiq_Md]

7:27 there is you answer

[@deepanjalidas767]

Gained some new knowledge thanks for it 😉. Now I can answer why are honeycombs hexagonal!🥳Some examples of hexagon from nature are nuts, snow flakes, tie knot etc.

[@tusharhazra4u]

Hmm very interesting topic

[@kasturibhalerao1371]

Q) Hexagonal shapes in daily life Ans : a)Snake skin b)Honeycomb c)Insect like House fly's Eyes

[@ALLTAKEGAMER1230]

Wow different diagram sir

[@rupal8974]

Loved itt

[@kasturibhalerao1371]

Wallah ! Amazing sir I was curious to know about it and I knew it from my favorite platform to learn i.e Byju's

[@renutiwari4848]

I love the fun fact

[@yashygamer349]

Super sir you are showing the meaning of real education

[@siddhikshasamanta8317]

Wow...

[@mohanmohanta2459]

Can you give a basic video of maths of topics in short every topics' only basic or fundamentals please byju's because mostly everyone need it

[@pranjalpatel25]

One of the best video. Very good effort.

[@jevaeswarmusician]

Nice explanation 👌 👍🏻 👏 😀 sir.

[@tapaskumarmallik6488]

Byjus is best learning app

[@mamataparida2619]

I gained some knowledge

[@shivamraj5435]

I have the byjus premium and he is my favorite teacher

[@T_GungunTagore]

Hexagonal shape in daily life it's: Football Snake skin And honeycomb

[@madhurabodke5573]

Basalt columns and insect eyes also form hexagonal patterns.

[@avishekkumar814]

👍👍

[@tiasingh7397]

Thanku sir

[@Saharsha1508]

Nice explanation sir of your by Justin all of the teachers will explain in very easy method and we will understand very fastly and we can write in exams also thank you sir for explaining these for us and love you byju's

[@CM_Moments]

First comment...... BTW I'm very much interested on such fact video I love byjus

[@jayashreebehura3493]

you're cool 😎😎😎😎 Aswin sir

[@alkasinghixb4197]

Explain displacement time graph ?

[@vaishalimadgaonkar4518]

I love byjus app

[@siddhikshasamanta8317]

👍👍👍👍🎊😊😊😊🎉😀

[@KeshavKumar-ex3rh]

Amazing

[@monaliguha6921]

Excellent

[@MMREDDY117]

Yesssss. It started

[@MMREDDY117]

Love the explanation

[@vinayaramesh3353]

Thank you

[@vitthaldhande3154]

I have seen this pattern in the snake scales

[@OMGIsItArt]

Thank you sir for explaining me. I always thought Why are honeycomb hexagonal . Thank you Byju's 😃

[@mamataparida2619]

Thank you Byju's for understanding me and thank you for exploring such type of things that we don't know

[@Misbah-tc8ls]

I think that pentagons don't tessellate because it doesn't end with 0 whilst the others do

[@sohammondal4461]

Sir please make a video on cotyledons

[@aaravkumaraaryan]

The design made on the surface of football.⚽⚽

[@aaravkumaraaryan]

Am I correct? Anyone please reply!

[@shancubing5669]

Yes, this is a fantastic answer as it tesselates and covers the ball easily

[@farhankabir462]

Hexagonal shapes are also found at the shell of a turtle and more interestingly a hexagonal vortex storm is formed in the northpole of Saturn.

[@NavinKumar-by7hb]

One example for this question that I found was football

[@Balajikarri]

Eye of fly

[@DancewithShreyasi97]

Footpath tilings Snake skin patterns..

[@littleboyzz943]

Snake's Body Is Hexagonal .

[@ojalgadpale3300]

Nice

[@study-vlog7]

Why man made things are rectangular

[@subhangimaity904]

Fun fact : Honeybees actually build there combs circular but it automatically converts into hexagon to create a stable shape.

[@Harnoor54]

Wasp combs

[@hemad6294]

Snacks scale

[@hashimali9229]

But they make only hexagon but why not triangle or square

[@binu.l.g5232]

7:21 Check this part of video

[@ujwalgopalghare4019]

Watch complete video there is answer

[@binu.l.g5232]

Nice doubt, triangle, square and hexagon can tessellate but which one of them has a larger opening , its for the hexagon. So honey bees use hexagon shapes to get more space inside

[@ShivamThakur-zc6qj]

Bcz hexagon is the largest polygon which can tessellate as well as complete 360° in building 3 shapes so they make hexagon to save efforts

[@padmajarao6717]
