Honeycomb many feet, called travel stain by beekeepers when seen on frames of comb honey. Honeycomb in the "supers" that are not used for brood (e.g. by the placement of a queen excluder) stays light-colored. Numerous wasps, especially Polistinae and Vespinae, construct hexagonal prism-packed combs made of paper instead of wax; in some species (such as "Brachygastra mellifica"), honey is stored in the nest, thus technically forming a paper honeycomb. However, the term "honeycomb" is not often used for such structures. The axes of honeycomb cells are always quasihorizontal, and the nonangled rows of honeycomb cells are always horizontally (not vertically)
Cubic honeycomb projected into the euclidean plane with various symmetry arrangements. There is a second uniform coloring by reflectional symmetry of the Coxeter groups, the second seen with alternately colored truncated cubic cells. <HR> The alternated bitruncated cubic honeycomb or bisnub cubic honeycomb can be creating regular icosahedron from the truncated octahedra with irregular tetrahedral cells created in the gaps. There are three constructions from three related Coxeter diagrams: , , and . These have symmetry [4,3,4], [4,(3)] and [3] respectively. The first and last symmetry can be doubled as <nowiki></nowiki>4,3,4 and [[3]]. This honeycomb is represented in the boron atoms of
