In fact, the superb skills of bees in building nests have long attracted many scientists. They don't understand why every nest of bees is a regular hexagon and looks so regular. Is every nest of bees an exact regular hexagon? If so, these bees can be compared with the architects. Various conjectures were put forward, and the task of exploring the hive began.
The ancient Greek mathematician Baptist Church was the first scientist to carefully observe and study the delicate nests of bees. As early as 2000 years ago, he was shocked by the exquisite construction technology of bees. Later, he wrote this in the book "Mathematical Compilation":? The beehive is covered with regular polygonal patterns with equilateral angles, which are very symmetrical and regular. ? Later, the French astronomer Marathi was also deeply attracted by the bee's nest. He decided to measure the size of the hive himself and found that each hive was exactly the same.
Although many scientists have discovered the subtleties of beehives. But they still don't understand why bees choose this construction method. The first thing that scientists think of is that this construction method may be the most economical raw material. In order to confirm this conjecture, many mathematicians began to deduce calculations, trying to uncover more mysteries of the hive. Kraulin, a famous mathematician, found that the way bees build nests is the most material-saving method under the same volume. Moreover, there is no error between the size and angle of the hive and the results obtained by mathematicians through reasoning and calculation.
This result has amazed many scientists! It also makes many architects feel a little threatened. And the superb skills of bees are almost innate. As early as the middle of18th century, they have applied the problems calculated and confirmed by human beings to beehives. Although human beings claim to be the spirit of all things, the increasingly exquisite nature makes human beings feel ashamed. Even the humble bees in nature have such superb construction technology, and how many unknown mysteries are hidden in the creatures in nature!
