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.
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 the 33rd most common still life on Adam P. Goucher's Catagolue, being less common than canoe but more common than cis-mirrored bun. It is the 2nd most common still life with 16 cells, being less common than bi-pond but more common than scorpion.[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).

All strict still lifes with a population of 23 or fewer cells, all oscillators with 16 or fewer cells, and all spaceships with 35 or fewer cells are known to be glider-constructible. A glider synthesis of this object can be found in the infobox to the right.
