> We thus show that the benefit for the bees of the upward tilt of the cells is not to prevent leakage of honey.
Two points.
Bees store incoming nectar which has a very different viscosity to 'honey' - it will run out if the comb is not held vertically.
No consideration seems to have been given to brood rearing. Is there advantage to the incline for developing larvae?
