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?

[From many - one.]

Ever catch a ball?

Do you do caclulus to figure it out?
