In this work, the spin wave calculations were carried out using the Heisenberg Hamiltonian to study the allowed spin waves of zigzag and armchair edged stripes for ferromagnetic nanodots arrayed in a 2D honeycomb lattice \cite{Selim2011}. The Hamiltonian is used to construct the $\mathbf{E}$ matrix which encodes the exchange flow of magnons in the stripes. It is found that the allowed spin wave modes are the eigenvalues of the $\mathbf{E}$ matrix and therefore it is used to study the effects of the stripe width, edge exchange, the edge uniaxial anisotropy, and impurities on the allowed spin waves of stripes. The obtained results almost coincide with the results of graphene nanoribbons described by tight binding Hamiltonian for electronic excitations. Therefore, we suggest the fabrication of the magnetic counterpart to graphene as a new technology in the field of spintronic devices and magnetic applications.
