Ok, that is kind of cool.

From the post:

>Bees are incredible insects that live and die for their hive, producing rich honey in complicated hive structures. The problem is as the average beekeeper, you wouldn’t see much of these intricate structures without disturbing the hive. So why not 3D print an observation hive? With [Teddy Hatcher]’s 3D printing creativity, that is exactly what he did.

That's very cool, I am going to have to look into this more. I have a flow hive, and this year my bees are not doing very well, the colony is just not growing as expected. The blackberries are starting to bloom though so maybe it will take off.

I have always thought it would be cool to have a "indoor" hive. Especially to make sure it lives though the winter well. I have been to museums that do that and some of the hives are HUGE. With something like this you could just keep adding more panels and more panels. That would be neat.

Agreed, I have seen really big ones at zoos. It's impressive.

Even cooler if you can still put a tap in it to collect some of the honey. Not required but that would be cool.
