How Honeybees Make Hexagonal Honeycombs
蜜蜂如何建造六边形蜂巢
-
Honeybees build honeycomb cells in perfect hexagons.蜜蜂建造的蜂巢细胞呈完美的六边形。
-
Hexagons fit together tightly with no gaps between them.六边形能紧密拼接,中间不留空隙。

Bees warm their bodies to soften wax before shaping it.蜜蜂通过升温软化蜂蜡后再塑形。
-
Each cell holds one egg or stores food for the hive.每个蜂房容纳一枚卵或储存蜂群食物。
-
The design also adds strength to the whole comb structure.这种设计还增强了整个蜂巢结构的强度。
-
Scientists study this to improve human engineering designs.科学家研究这一现象以改进人类工程设计。
