Beehive on dock (or beehive on big table[1], or hexadecimal[2]) is a simple still life made up of a beehive acting as an induction coil with dock.
Commonness
Beehive on dock is the thirty-seventh most common still life in Achim Flammenkamp's census, being less common than twin hat but more common than beehive with tail.[3] It is also the forty-first most common object on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue.[4] It is more common than the block on dock, despite blocks being more common than beehives.
While there are several ways for a beehive on dock to form, the following shows two. They are both a blinker plus a common six-cell sequence, and the two sequences shown converge early, at generation 5 (top) and 2 (bottom).

Glider synthesis
All strict still lifes with a population of 20 or fewer cells, as well as all oscillators and spaceships with 16 or fewer cells, are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
