Honeycomb honeycomb conjecture, this was given by Jan Brożek and proved much later by Thomas Hales. Thus, a hexagonal structure uses the least material to create a lattice of cells within a given volume. A second reason, given by D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson, is that the shape simply results from the process of individual bees putting cells together: somewhat analogous to the boundary shapes created in a field of soap bubbles. In support of this, he notes that queen cells, which are constructed singly, are irregular and lumpy with no apparent attempt at efficiency. The closed ends of the honeycomb cells are
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,
