The beehive consists of many regular hexagonal beehives of almost the same size, which are closely arranged and separated by a "wall" made of beeswax. Except for the hexagonal entrance, each hive has a pointed bottom. From the appearance, each hive is a hexagonal prism with almost equal size, and the bottom is an inverted cone, which is closed by three congruent rhombic faces, and the acute angles of these three rhombic faces are all 70. The area of each hive is almost 0.25 cubic centimeter. These hives are closely connected, arranged in parallel and embedded in each other. This hexagonal closely combined building structure has the advantages of high sealing, less required materials and large space. At the same time, because of its compact structure, it can withstand greater impact than other structures, so it is also very strong. The structure of beehives has aroused great interest of scientists. After in-depth study of beehives, scientists were surprised to find that adjacent holes use a wall and a hole bottom, which saves building materials very much. The cave is a regular hexagon, and the body of bees is basically a cylinder, so bees will not have extra space in the cave and will not feel crowded. The structure of honeycomb gives great inspiration to spacecraft designers. When they developed it, they adopted a honeycomb structure: first, they made a honeycomb out of metal, and then they clamped it with two metal plates to form a honeycomb structure.

This honeycomb structure has high strength and light weight, and is also beneficial to sound insulation and heat insulation.
