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
Truncated 24-cell honeycomb Truncated 24-cell honeycomb In four-dimensional Euclidean geometry, the truncated 24-cell honeycomb is a uniform space-filling honeycomb. It can be seen as a truncation of the regular 24-cell honeycomb, containing tesseract and truncated 24-cell cells. It has a uniform alternation, called the snub 24-cell honeycomb. It is a snub from the formula_1 construction. This truncated 24-cell has Schläfli symbol t{3}, and its snub is represented as s{3}. There are five different symmetry constructions of this tessellation. Each symmetry can be represented by different arrangements of colored truncated 24-cell facets. In all cases, four truncated 24-cells, and one tesseract meet at each
