Hide shapes overflowing outside the page

Hi there, I need to get rid of the parts of the shape going over the edge, so that when I duplicate the page like in the second image the hexagons won't be crossing over into the other page. 

 

Does anybody know how I can do this easily?

Group the shapes.

Cut the grouped shapes to the clipboard.

Draw a rectangle with the size and position of the page or the bleed area.

Select the rectangle and use the command Paste Into.

Select all the objects and use paste into command with new frame with your needed size.
