Dodecahedral-icosahedral honeycomb square antiprism vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . The cyclotruncated icosahedral-dodecahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from dodecahedron, truncated icosahedron cells, in a triangular antiprism vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . It can be see as somewhat analogous to the pentahexagonal tiling with pentagonal and hexagonal faces: The truncated dodecahedral-icosahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from truncated icosahedron, truncated dodecahedron, rhombicosidodecahedron, truncated icosidodecahedron cells, in a trapezoidal pyramid vertex figure. It has a Coxeter diagram . The omnitruncated dodecahedral-icosahedral honeycomb is a compact uniform honeycomb, constructed from truncated icosidodecahedron cells, in a
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
