Comb (Honeycomb)
A honeycomb is a structure built from beeswax consisting of hexagonal cells used by bees for brood rearing and for storing honey and pollen. The hexagonal shape is the most structurally efficient and material-saving geometry found in nature. Each comb consists of two layers of cells built back to back.
