Hexagons

Did we learn this pattern from the bees, or did they learn it from us?  I was wandering around near the college, ostensibly doing nature photography, when this roadside reflector caught my eye.  I immediately recalled the many photos of bee and wasp nests I took last summer out at Oakland Camp.  They are marvels of architecture and have certainly inspired many human creations.  So, there you have it.  Click on the photo for a closer view and imagine some insect highway engineers.
