1. An apparatus for attaching a member to a honeycomb core-stiffened structure, comprising: a body disposed partially within the honeycomb core-stiffened structure;one or more elements extending from the body configured to be bonded to one or more walls of a honeycomb core of the honeycomb core-stiffened structure, the one or more elements including a plurality of tangs between which the one or more walls of the honeycomb are disposed when the apparatus is in use; anda fitting disposed outside the honeycomb core-stiffened structure for attaching the member to the apparatus;wherein portions of the tangs in contact with the one or more walls of the honeycomb core are parallel to the one or more walls of the honeycomb core; andwherein the body, the one or more elements, and the fitting are a single integral and gaplessly continuous piece. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tangs includes three tangs and the apparatus is disposed at an intersection of walls of the honeycomb core when in use; wherein a center of the three tangs is disposed at the intersection of walls of the honeycomb core. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the plurality of tangs includes two tangs and a wall of the honeycomb core is received between the two tangs. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of tangs defines a plurality of smooth protrusions configured to grip a wall of the one or more walls of the honeycomb core. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein each of the plurality of tangs defines a plurality of protrusions for regulating a thickness of adhesive when the apparatus is in use; and wherein the adhesive is located inwardly from the plurality of tangs. 6. The apparatus of claim 1: wherein the one or more elements extending from the body comprise: a plurality of tangs rotationally spaced apart extending from the body and configured to be disposed proximate a corresponding plurality of walls defining the cell of the honeycomb core. 7. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein each of the plurality of tangs defines an opening in which an insertion tool is received. 8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein each of the plurality of tangs defines a plurality of protrusions configured to grip a wall of the one or more walls of the honeycomb core. 9. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein each of the plurality of tangs defines a plurality of protrusions for regulating a thickness of adhesive when the apparatus is in use. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a flange extending from the body, configured to be adhesively bonded to a first skin of the honeycomb core-stiffened structure. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: a washer configured to provide a preload against a first skin of the honeycomb upon compression, the washer located in contact with the first skin of the honeycomb core-stiffened structure.
