Honeycomb Honeycomb A honeycomb is a mass of hexagonal prismatic wax cells built by honey bees in their nests to contain their larvae and stores of honey and pollen. Beekeepers may remove the entire honeycomb to harvest honey. Honey bees consume about 8.4 lb (3.8 kg) of honey to secrete 1 lb (454 g) of wax, so it makes economic sense to return the wax to the hive after harvesting the honey. The structure of the comb may be left basically intact when honey is extracted from it by uncapping and spinning in a centrifugal machine—the honey extractor. If the honeycomb
2 22 honeycomb types of cells: octahedron, 0, and tetrahedron, 0. The 2 honeycomb, is fourth in a dimensional series of uniform polytopes, expressed by Coxeter as k series. The final is a paracompact hyperbolic honeycomb, 3. Each progressive uniform polytope is constructed from the previous as its vertex figure. The 2 honeycomb is third in another dimensional series 2. 2 22 honeycomb In geometry, the 2 honeycomb is a uniform tessellation of the six-dimensional Euclidean space. It can be represented by the Schläfli symbol {3,3,3}. It is constructed from 2 facets and has a 1 vertex figure, with 54 2 polytopes around
