A honeycomb is called regular if the group of isometries preserving the tiling acts transitively on flags, where a flag is a vertex lying on an edge lying on a face lying on a cell. Every regular honeycomb is automatically uniform. However, there is just one regular honeycomb in Euclidean 3-space, the cubic honeycomb.
A regular hexagonal grid This honeycomb forms a circle packing, with circles centered on each hexagon.. The honeycomb conjecture states that a regular hexagonal grid or honeycomb has the least total perimeter of any subdivision of the plane into regions of equal area.
In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-3-infinite hexagonal honeycomb or (6,3,∞ honeycomb) is a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb) with Schläfli symbol {6,3,∞}. It has infinitely many hexagonal tiling {6,3} around each edge.

Aluminum honeycomb structure Honeycomb structure in nature. Honeycomb structures are natural or man-made structures that have the geometry of a honeycomb to allow the minimization of the amount of used material to reach minimal weight and minimal material cost. The geometry of honeycomb structures can vary widely but the common feature of all ...
In three-dimensional hyperbolic geometry, the alternated order-6 hexagonal tiling honeycomb is a uniform compact space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb).As an alternation, with Schläfli symbol h{4,3,6} and Coxeter-Dynkin diagram or , it can be considered a quasiregular honeycomb, alternating triangular tilings and tetrahedra around each vertex in a trihexagonal tiling vertex figure.
A cell end composed of two hexagons and two smaller rhombi would actually be .035% (or about one part per 2850) more efficient. This difference is too minute to measure on an actual honeycomb, and irrelevant to the hive economy in terms of efficient use of wax, considering wild comb varies considerably from any mathematical notion of "ideal ...
In the geometry of hyperbolic 3-space, the order-7-3 hexagonal honeycomb (or 6,7,3 honeycomb) a regular space-filling tessellation (or honeycomb). Each infinite cell consists of an order-6 hexagonal tiling whose vertices lie on a 2-hypercycle , each of which has a limiting circle on the ideal sphere.
