The other thing, as these are formed over eons - they show that the earth is a globe, as the rough hexagon is the most efficient way to sub-divide a sphere into geometry. This is why bees use it. They can surface map any geomerty in an equitable and even pattern (for the needed breeding cell size, let alone discrete compartments, and a discreet efficiency of dissecting a sphere/area with max efficiency.)
Discrete vs Discreet == Segmented / Carpartmentalized vs Different. e.g. The bees divide their hives into discrete compartments which are used for two differing discreet purposes: Harvesting Honey and Harvesting Honeybee Brood (to be fed with said honey from other cells.
Hexagons are bestagons.
