View a Beehive Up Close with this 3D Printed Hive
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.
Hexagonal sections allow for viewing of entire panels of hexagonal cells, growing new workers, and storing the rich syrup we all enjoy. Each module has two cell panels, giving depth to the hive for heat/humidity gradients. The rear of a module has a plywood backing and an acrylic front for ample viewing. [Teddy] uses three modules plus a Flow Hive for a single colony, enough room for more bees than we here at Hackaday would ever consider letting in the front door.
As with many 3D printed projects involving food or animals, the question remains about health down the line. Plastic can bio-accumulate in hives, which is a valid concern for anyone wanting to add the honey to their morning coffee. On the other hand, the printed plastic is not what honey is added to, nor what the actual cell panels are made from. When considering the collected honey, this is collected from the connected Flow Hive rather than anything directly in contact with 3D printed plastic.
Beehives might not always need a fancy 3D printed enclosure; the standard wooden crates seem to work just fine for most, but there’s a time and place for some bio-ingenuity. Conditions in a hive might vary creating problems for your honey production, so you better check out this monitoring system dedicated to just that!

The image depicts a person standing on a set of stairs in a futuristic setting. The individual is dressed in a traditional Jedi robe, consisting of a white tunic with a brown cloak draped over the shoulders. The robe is cinched at the waist with a belt. The person is positioned centrally, with their hands by their sides, and is looking directly at the camera. The background features a sleek, modern interior with a curved ceiling and wall-mounted lights. The stairs are illuminated by small lights embedded in the steps, creating a gradient effect from the bottom to the top. The overall color tone of the image is sepia, giving it a warm, vintage feel.

Havent paid much attention how fake "left" i.e DSA is structured within Empire
Now they are passionately debating who should be the electorate that permanently transfer power away from them to politico-bureaucratic masters, which they correctly call "Democracy"
"Democracy" fucking joke—a very bad joke. Those at top stealing agency of those below is what "Democracy" has always been
Capitalists are working towards "Socialism" from above.
