Bee Maths



Did you know  that bees are probably the oldest mathematicians on the planet?  They are natural inventors of tessellating patterns used in Geometry.

They use the hexagon shape to create their honeycomb, which is the storage cupboard for the honey and the baby bees to grow. 

It is an amazing space saving design, which has been copied in modern architecture and in aerodynamics.
