Honeycomb is a strictly hexagonal cylinder, with a hexagonal opening at one end and the bottom of a closed hexagonal cone at the other end, which consists of three identical diamonds. Just half nests (called nests) are staggered inside and outside the honeycomb, and the intersection point of the sides of the combined hexagon is the center of the hexagon, which improves the strength of the honeycomb and prevents the bottom of the honeycomb from breaking.

Honeycomb structure is the basic structure of honeycomb, and it is a structure composed of regular hexagonal cells, with all openings facing down or to one side and symmetrically arranged back to back.

Scientists have found that regular hexagonal buildings have the highest structural compactness, the simplest materials needed and the largest available space. Therefore, it can accommodate tens of thousands of bees. This regular hexagonal honeycomb structure shows amazing mathematical talent, which makes many architects sigh.

Honeycomb structure is the best topological structure covering two-dimensional plane.

This structure has excellent geometric and mechanical properties, so it is widely used in material science.

Expand the medicinal value of data

Honeycombs also have high medicinal value, and fresh and clean honeycombs are often used to treat rhinitis. Studies have shown that honeycomb preparations can promote the cellular immune function of the body, and also have strong inhibitory effects on Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Shigella dysenteriae, Typhoid Bacillus and Proteus vulgaris. It also has inhibitory effects on Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus, Fusarium solani, Leuconostoc and other fungi.

The chemical composition of honeycomb is very complex, mainly containing beeswax, resin, oil, pigment, tannin, sugar, organic acids, fatty acids, glycosides, enzymes, insect hormones and so on.
