The bimesosnub cubic honeycomb is an isogonal honeycomb that consists of pyritohedral icosahedra, triangular antiprisms, tetragonal disphenoids, and sphenoids. 2 pyritohedral icosahedra, 4 triangular antiprisms, 2 tetragonal disphenoid, and 8 sphenoids join at each vertex. It can be obtained as the convex hull of two opposite bisnub cubic honeycombs with regular symmetry. It cannot be made uniform.

Using the ratio method, the lowest possible ratio between the longest and shortest edges is .
