It's just the way the surface tension forces work out, the molecules don't have to "do calculus". And neither do the bees.

Your jump from soap bubbles to bees is missing a few steps. Where, exactly, is the surface tension force "working out", as you put it, in the bees constructing their honey combs?

Pressures from surrounding cells drives the formation of the hexagonal honey comb. There is nothing supernatural about it at all.
