Order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb . The "cantellated order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb", t{6,3,6}, has trihexagonal tiling and rhombitrihexagonal tiling cells, with a triangular prism vertex figure. The "cantitruncated order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb", t{6,3,6}, has hexagonal tiling and truncated trihexagonal tiling cells, with a triangular prism vertex figure. The runcinated order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t{6,3,6}, has hexagonal tiling and hexagonal prism cells, with a triangular antiprism vertex figure. It is analogous to the 2D hyperbolic rhombihexahexagonal tiling, rr{6,6}, with square and hexagonal faces: The runcitruncated order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb, t{6,3,6}, has Truncated hexagonal tiling, rhombitrihexagonal tiling, hexagonal prism, and dodecagonal prism cells. The omnitruncated order-6 hexagonal
Wax foundation Wax foundation Wax foundation or honeycomb base is a plate made of wax with the base of the honeycomb. It is used in beekeeping to give the bees a foundation on which they can build the honeycomb. Wax foundation is considered one of the most important inventions in modern beekeeping. Wax foundation was invented by German Johannes Mehring in 1857, a few years after Langstroth designed and patented the Langstroth hive on October 5, 1852. Mehring's wax foundation had only the bottom of the cells, and today's base with the foundation of the cells was invented by US beekeeper Samuel
