I wonder if this relates to them having six legs somehow. Like, they’re able to measure where the next hex should be based on leg length or something.

The bee doesn’t have to know anything about numbers to make the honeycomb. All it needs to know is how big to make the circle (bee-sized) and where the circle should be (touching two other circles). From there, the hexagons form naturally.
