Phrases and keywords that were helping in the formation of ideas:

-Architecture is the art science of forming the living space.

-The relationship between man, nature and architecture is a fact that embrace all of the theoretical, philosophical and research sience.

-Design processes based on the nature and biological patterns.

-Home and architecture in the Qur'an

Honey is nature's most sophisticated architects-

-Bees live social and build their required spaces instinctive.

-In a comparison of algebraic and numerical can be found that mathematical relationship

Between honey and honey wax in Hexagon far more than the square and the circle one.

-Also, by establishing a mathematical relationship, it can be concluded that number of rooms in Hexagon, independent of the size of the hive, the rate of 15.4 percent is higher than other states.

-Mathematicians found that the best way for build a ware house and maximum amount of saving is division of page into Hexagon because less hexagonal environment, causes the bees, apply less wax to build the hive.

-When bees leaving a hive and migrate to the new hive, prefer to transfer the wax in the old hive into the new one, instead of making a new wax.(Stability and reused in the construction of the hive)

-One of the most resistant structures that used in different sciences such as civil structures, missile structures, aviation industry , is honey comb structure, which is derived from the structure of the hexagonal honey comb.
