Abstract

The manner of the bees construct their honeycombs and it design may imply, besides the partaking of physical laws, also the coordinated activity many dozens of colony individuals all through the way of cells foundation to full size erection. The last postulate might indicate the bees ability to engineering prowess. The undertaken research affords the experimental proofs support the expressed assumption.
