honeycombs
Wax cell grids
Honeycombs are the hexagonal wax structures bees build to store honey and raise larvae.
The geometric pattern extends to anything with similar regular cavities: The limestone was honeycombed with caves.
As a verb, to honeycomb is to riddle with holes or passages: Tunnels honeycombed the hillside.
