The six-sidedness of hexagons is the shape of cells in beehives. Marcus Terentius Varro (116 B.C. to 27 B.C.), ancient Roman scholar and writer from what is now the central Italian city and commune of Riati in Lazio, opined that hexagons allow bees to construct the smallest total perimeter for holding more money, leaving no gaps, and using less building wax. That conjecture was proven mathematically in 1999 by Thomas Callister Hales (born June 4, 1958), currently Mellon Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pittsburgh in Pennsylvania.
