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
Order-5 cubic honeycomb form: It is in a sequence of polychora and honeycomb with icosahedron vertex figures: It in a sequence of regular polychora and honeycombs with cubic cells. The first polytope in the sequence is the tesseract, and the second is the Euclidean cubic honeycomb. The rectified order-5 cubic honeycomb, , has alternating icosahedron and cuboctahedron cells, with a pentagonal prism vertex figure. There are four rectified compact regular honeycombs: The truncated order-5 cubic honeycomb, , has truncated cube and icosahedron cells, with a pentagonal pyramid vertex figure. It can be seen as analogous to the 2D hyperbolic truncated order-5 square tiling,
