Magic squares are pretty amazing, but they're simple in the sense that the Magic Constant is constructed from the same quantity of spaces in every direction -- vertical, horizontal, and diagonal. A Magic Honeycomb? It can't have vertical paths to the constant because the spaces just don't connect that way... but there's an added element of difficulty in horizontal and diagonal paths being varying quantities of 3, 4, and 5.
But the real question is whether bees poop or vomit honey. And the answer is COMPLEX.
