Let’s solve this step by step.
The task says:
“Help the bee find his honeycomb. Color the hexagons to make a path.”
First, we need to know what a
hexagon is.
→ A hexagon is a shape with
6 straight sides and
6 corners.
Now, look at all the shapes on the page. Some are hexagons, some are not (like pentagons — 5 sides, or octagons — 8 sides).
We must color
only the hexagons, and they should form a continuous path from the
bee (top left) to the
honeycomb (bottom right).
Let’s go step by step:
1. Start at the bee. The first shape next to the bee is a hexagon → color it.
2. From there, move to adjacent hexagons only (touching side-to-side, not corner-to-corner).
3. Keep going until you reach the honeycomb.
4. Do NOT color any shape that isn’t a hexagon — even if it’s in the way.
Let’s trace the correct path:
- Bee → first hexagon (right below bee)
- Then down-left to another hexagon
- Then down to next hexagon
- Then right to big hexagon in middle
- Then down-right to next hexagon
- Then down to small hexagon near bottom
- Then right to last hexagon before honeycomb
- Then to honeycomb!
Wait — let’s double-check each shape along the path to make sure it has exactly 6 sides.
✔ First shape under bee: 6 sides → hexagon
✔ Next one down-left: 6 sides → hexagon
✔ Next one down: 6 sides → hexagon
✔ Big one in center: 6 sides → hexagon
✔ One down-right from center: 6 sides → hexagon
✔ Small one near bottom: 6 sides → hexagon
✔ One to its right: 6 sides → hexagon
✔ Last one before honeycomb: 6 sides → hexagon
All of these are true hexagons. And they connect side-to-side to make a clear path.
There are other hexagons on the page, but if we color them, they might break the path or lead nowhere. We only want the ones that make a direct route from bee to honeycomb.
So, the correct answer is to color
these specific hexagons that form the connected path.
Final Answer:
Color the following hexagons to make a path from the bee to the honeycomb:
Start at the hexagon directly below the bee, then go down-left, then down, then right to the large central hexagon, then down-right, then down, then right, then right again to the hexagon just left of the honeycomb. All these shapes have 6 sides and touch each other side-to-side to form a complete path.
