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-square tiling honeycomb constructions exists with symmetry [(4,4,(4,3)*)], index 48 and an ideal regular octahedral fundamental domain. Cubic-square tiling honeycomb In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the cubic-square tiling honeycomb is a paracompact uniform honeycomb, constructed from cube and square tiling cells, in a rhombicuboctahedron vertex figure. It has a single-ring Coxeter diagram, , and is named by its two regular cells. It represents a semiregular honeycomb as defined by all regular cells, although from the Wythoff construction, rectified square tiling r{4,4}, becomes the regular square tiling {4,4}. A lower symmetry form, index 6, of this honeycomb can be constructed with [(4,4,4,3*] symmetry,
