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-4 dodecahedral honeycomb truncated octahedron and truncated icosahedron cells, with a tetrahedron vertex figure. The cantellated order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb, has rhombicosidodecahedron and cuboctahedron, and cube cells, with a triangular prism vertex figure. The cantitruncated order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb, is a uniform honeycomb constructed with a coxeter diagram, and mirrored sphenoid vertex figure. The runcititruncated order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb, is a uniform honeycomb constructed with a coxeter diagram, and a quadrilateral pyramid vertex figure. Order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-4 dodecahedral honeycomb is one of four compact regular space-filling tessellations (or honeycombs). With Schläfli symbol {5,3,4}, it has four dodecahedra around
