Seems like it is the most compact geometry for cells of storage.

They do this in zero gravity space as well. Perfect 7 degree inclines.
I have kept bees for most of the last 43 years and I still don’t know much about them because they are marvels.

The Earth is Satan's realm.
There are six quarks too: up, down, bottom, top, strange, and charm.
It's all about the number six.

Back years ago, I think it was Moody Bible Institute, had a program called “Sermons from Science” and one of the “sermons” was a detailed film of the entire story of honey bees. How God created them with the innate ability to operate their hives like a well-oiled machine, and do everything with the precision of architects.
If I’m wrong about it being Moody, I’d be happy to be corrected.

Creation is the work of an omniscent God. Simple, yet the fools refuse to acknowledge it.
Psalm 14:1: For the choir director. Davidic. The fool says in his heart, "God does not exist." They are corrupt; they do vile deeds. There is no one who does good. HSB.

Offsetting (which comes “naturally” so to speak, from hexagons, but not from squares) of the cylindrical cells probably helps keep the comb from falling down due to its weight. There’s less material between cells with hexagonal arrangement. All this material is glued to something at the top, from which it hangs.
And the stress is distributed more evenly.
Less excess and wasted material, less weight, less danger of collapse...would be my guess.

Here are three projects for anyone who likes fiddling with geometric models:
trihexaflexagon hexahexaflexagontruncated icosahedron:
I know of no easy way to make a model like this:
But something similar to the figure below is not very complicated or hard to make, but does take a bit of work. FR-mail me if interested and I will write up some instructions.
