Honeycomb (or super beehive[1]) is a symmetric 12-cell still life.
It contains a photonegative beehive.
Commonness
Among the 121 still lifes with 12 cells, this is the 76th most common still life according to Catagolue.
Glider synthesis
A 5-glider synthesis of this still life was found by bubblegum in October 2020 with a Catagolue-based random glider synthesis searching script.[2]
In other rules
As for isotropic non-totalistic rules, the honeycomb is common in S8 rules from B3i/S2cik3acy8 to B2-ae34-e5-y678/S01c2345-i678, as a six-cell row (also the core of worker bee) evolves into one. It is also common in S2-i rules from B3i/S2ck3cy to B2-ae34-ew5-y678/S012-i345678, where it evolves from a phi spark.
