We've had a lot of different grid sizes in GAPP. And even some weirdly shaped ones (Tawa). But this is the first puzzle with non-rectangular cells! It is a Slitherlink (Hexagonal), and I'm buzzing to bee sharing this with you today. Comb and give it a go!

Rules: Connect some pairs of adjacent dots along gridlines to form a single non-intersecting loop. Clues represent the number of edges drawn surrounding the clue (up to six). (Basically, standard slitherlink rules, just on a differently shaped grid).

Penpa note: you can right click to input x's on a non-mobile device.
Further note: if you are on a mobile device, it may be hard to draw edges in composite: edgex, so you may wish to switch to edge mode (though you will need to manually switch between x marking and edge drawing in that case)
