Honeycomb one part per 2850) more efficient. This difference is too minute to measure on an actual honeycomb, and irrelevant to the hive economy in terms of efficient use of wax, considering wild comb varies considerably from any mathematical notion of "ideal" geometry. Bees used their antennae, mandibles and legs to manipulate the wax during comb construction, while actively warming the wax. During the construction of hexagonal cells, wax temperature is between 33.6 and 37.6°C, well below the 40°C temperature at which wax is assumed to be liquid for initiating new comb construction. The body temperature of bees is a factor
Dodecahedral-icosahedral honeycomb rhombic disphenoid vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . Dodecahedral-icosahedral honeycomb In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the dodecahedral-icosahedral honeycomb is a uniform honeycomb, constructed from dodecahedron, icosahedron, and icosidodecahedron cells, in a rhombicosidodecahedron vertex figure. Wide-angle perspective views: There are 5 related uniform honeycombs generated within the same family, generated with 2 or more rings of the Coxeter group : , , , , . The rectified dodecahedral-icosahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from icosidodecahedron, and rhombicosidodecahedron cells, in a cuboid vertex figure.
