Here’s what I would do, based on my understanding of your question. (This operation requires Premium, I think) Put your sticks on the honeycomb, align them pretty well with some kind of stabilizer (ruler, etc) if necessary.
Select the line tool, rotate as necessary, and make it long enough to span the width.
Then draw a box around the group of sticks and center the line on the x-axis of the box. Now you have a straight cut mark through all the sticks.
If you dont’ have Premium, I would just make a cut-line file in a vector program and import that on top of the image of your sticks.
Hope this all makes sense! I’ve used a similar technique to ‘drill’ holes in the same size dowels I’m using for display.
