Order-6 dodecahedral honeycomb are on the ideal surface. It is one of 15 regular hyperbolic honeycombs in 3-space, 11 of which like this one are paracompact, with infinite cells or vertex figures. There are 15 uniform honeycombs in the [5,3,6] Coxeter group family, including this regular form and its regular dual, order-5 hexagonal tiling honeycomb, {6,3,5}. This honeycomb is a part of a sequence of polychora and honeycombs with triangular tiling vertex figures: This honeycomb is a part of a sequence of regular polytopes and honeycombs with dodecahedral cells: The rectified order-6 dodecahedral honeycomb, t{5,3,6} has icosidodecahedron and triangular tiling cells connected in
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
