Beehive Honeycomb
A hexagonal honeycomb is built cell-by-cell, mimicking how honeybee workers secrete wax and shape it into tessellating hexagonal prisms — the most material-efficient way to tile a plane. Bees orbit the hive on individual flight paths while some cells fill with glowing honey caps.
- Hex grid generated with axial coordinates (q, r, s)
- Growth front reveals one cell at a time via instanced mesh scaling
- ~35% of cells capped with translucent glowing "honey"
- 18 bees fly independent elliptical orbits with flapping wings
