Upward angle cells

I notice that the plastic honey combs have a slight upward angle . When bees build their honey comb, do they also build with a slight upward angle ? Or did the inventors do this to help drain the honey ?

Bees do the same to stop the honey flowing out

bees build with an upward angle to the cells as well, it is built that way regardless of if it is for brood or honey stores. bees are smarter than we even think they are…
