@futurebird can I offer you an infinite number of rhombic dodecahedra tiling space in these trying times?

Seiran Sumner in her book "endless forms - the secret world of wasps" says that while the material bees use kinda help to fall in the right shape, wasps using paper certainly have to plan ahead to make the right shape (since paper/wood pulp is more rigid).

@futurebird True for tubes, but not ortholinear keyboards

@futurebird Guys! This is clearly a fly pretending to be a bee. Look at the wings? And the legs... 😂

@aldonogueira omg there are only two wings. What’s wrong with the legs?

aldonogueira

@futurebird The bee legs are thicker I think
I don't know. It immediately felt like a fly to me at least

@futurebird Hexagons are the bestagons. Also thanks for alt text :3

@futurebird I'm sorry to inform you that the bees actually make circles, not hexagons. Expansion of the cells then causes them to become hexagons. Bees don't know what a hexagon is. :pensive_cowboy:​
