Bottles would be safer if they were hexagonal for transportation but, not as strong. The circle is the strongest Individual shape especially when it comes to holding contents, and the sphere is the strongest shape for dealing with compression. Think grain silos, gas bottles, diving helmets.
Bees are marvellous they appreciate that it takes less wax to cover a big area without any gaps when storing honey, if they use a hexagon and not a circle though a triangle would be equally as strong but, the edges would have more fragility, and it doesn’t give as much room for a growing bee.
A circle would be stronger but uses far more wax and leaves gaps while a square or rectangle is 4 times weaker when under compression than a hexagon.
Bottles were round I’d have thought as they were blown originally and like a balloon it’s really difficult to blow a square, triangular or hexagonal balloon but a lot easier to roll a ball into a cylinder.
It still round pots for me.

A pocket knife is not a weapon in the right hands it’s an essential garden tool.
