Things to look for that very likely exist in a brain and are rarely discussed by neuroscientists: speculative code execution, mutexes. Things (somewhat) known by other names: reward integration, ping/ack cycles, polymorphism

It is a form of correcting towards the optimum, since bees only make hexagons but theoretically could make triangles, for example.

The hexagonal lattice is the optimal packing in 2D, but it would be wasteful to let every bee figure that out by herself.

It might be true that they only ever build from a small set of angles, but how are the angles and edge length fixed? Inherently because of the bee itself, or is this just what the bees learn from other bees/honeycomb to do? https://askdruniverse.wsu.edu/2015/11/02/why-do-bees-make-hexagons/ …

The comb generation algorithm is probably genetically fixed, because the optimum size of the cell is given by the larva size of the species, not the environment, so why waste time and error on learning?
