In Geometry , the hexagonal tiling is a regular tiling of the Euclidean plane.

The internal angle of the hexagon is 120 degrees so three hexagons at a point make a full 360 degrees. It is one of three regular tilings of the plane. The other two are the Square Tiling and the Triangular Tiling .

This hexagonal pattern exists in nature in a beehive's Honeycomb .
