I know bees take nectar and pollen etc. But how do they make the actual comb part. You see people pressing spoons against them and the honey pours out. Is that a different part of the process? How do bees know to make the shape like that? Rather, why do they make the combs in that shape?

Everyone else has already said it, cause hexagons are the bestagons, but actually bees **try** to make circles.
What ends up happening is the constant buzzing of so many bees heats up the inside of the hive and the wax circles. Because the circles are constantly being heated and softened, they settle into the most natural shape, a hexagon.
