I will study propagation of waves in a honeycomb structure with a line defect. In a perturbative regime, I will give a full description of  edge states (time harmonic waves propagating along the line defect). I  will then interpret the result topologically via the proof of an  index-like theorem: the bulk edge correspondence. This extends previous results of Fefferman, Lee-Thorp and Weinstein.
