I disagree on the name "honeybomb life" because stuff similar to the "honeybomb" occurs in many rules.
Here are some:

The name is given because honeyfarm predecessors evolves into honeybomb, not what honeybomb looks like. There're other rules that have oscillators that evolves from honeyfarm predecessors (hence in family of "honeybombs"), but I think this p20 honeybomb should be the highest period known in the fewest transitions from Life, and also the sparkiest, hence the rule name.
Observe these:
