Order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{3,3,6} has octahedral and triangular tiling cells connected in a hexagonal prism vertex figure. The truncated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{3,3,6} has truncated tetrahedra and triangular tiling cells connected in a hexagonal prism vertex figure. The cantellated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{3,3,6} has cuboctahedron and trihexagonal tiling cells connected in a tetrahedron vertex figure. The cantitruncated order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb, t{3,3,6} has truncated cuboctahedron and trihexagonal tiling cells connected in an octahedron vertex figure. Order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-6 tetrahedral honeycomb is a paracompact regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). It is called "paracompact" because
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
