Honeycomb Weathering
Honeycomb weathering, also known as honeycombs, honeycombed sandstone, is a form of cavernous weathering and subcategory of tafoni that consists of regular, tightly adjoining, and commonly patterned cavities that are developed in weathered bedrock; are less than in size; and resemble a honeycombed structure. Honeycombs also been called alveoli, lacework, stonelace, fretting or miniature tafoni weathering.Bruthans, J., Filippi, M., Slavík, M. and Svobodová, E., 2018.

The size at which honeycombs are differentiated from tafoni varies greatly in the scientific literature and lacks an official consensus.Groom, K.M., Allen, C.D., Mol, L., Paradi ...

A honeycomb is a mass of Triangular prismatic honeycomb#Hexagonal prismatic honeycomb, hexagonal prismatic Beeswax, wax cells built by honey bees in their beehive, nests to contain their larvae and stores of honey and pollen. beekeeping, Beekeepers may remove the entire honeycomb to harvest honey. Honey bees consume about of honey to secrete of wax, and so beekeepers may return the wax to the hive after harvesting the honey to improve honey outputs. The structure of the comb may be left basically intact when honey is extracted from it by uncapping and spinning in a centrifugal machine, more specifically a honey extractor. If the honeycomb is too worn out, the wax can be reused in a number of ways, including making sheets of comb Wax foundation, foundation with hexagonal pattern. Such foundation sheets allow the bees to build the comb with less effort, and the hexagonal pattern of worker-sized cell bases discourages the bees from building the larger Drone (bee), drone cells.
