Hexagonal packing also minimizes the perimeter for a given area because of its 120-degree angles.
A hexagon is the shape that best fills a plane with equal size units and leaves no wasted space. Well, as it turns out, it really is all about math. Basalt columns and insect eyes also form hexagonal patterns. Take snail shell spirals or starfishes' bodies or the symmetry of a flower's petals all those nature-y things are out there on their own existing in near mathematical perfection! Hexagons, in particular, are often seen in nature: bee hives are the common example, but definitely not the only. If you have ever wandered around in nature you may have noticed how many geometric shapes there are in the world that have absolutely no design from humans.
