Mr. Shuckard also considered that it would be necessary for 

 the support of Mr. Waterhouse's theory, that the bee working in 

 its cell did not touch some of the sides at a time when the bees 

 working at the cells adjacent to those sides were absent. Mr. 

 Ashton suggested that the hexagonal form of the eyes of insects 

 confirmed in some degree Mr. Waterhouse's views.
