These have been around for at least 30 years, probably much longer.

>>10393695
Just discovered it, is it worth it, whats the maintenance like. I guess a cold weather Country might be out of the question.

>>10393684
Fairly shit idea, legality would depend on the area you live in, if you are in the states you can buy a package of bees (with queen) in a number of places and even get them shipped.

>An indoor Beehive
Reminded me of that one movie on MST3K:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WL0tNHIb8n0

You like having constant buzzing sounds in your home?

>>10393784
Never thought about that?

>>10393784
Like white noise? Might be good if you live on a busy street or near train tracks.

>accidentally hit it one day
>falls off wall
>you now have a huge, huge problem
Nah
If you want bees just get an outdoor hive

>>10393824
Apartment dweller?

>>10393837
There's no way in hell any apartment landlord is going to let you hang up fucking bees in your unit

>>10393839
Um yeah, never thought about that.

how the fuck do you service these without getting goddamn bees all over your house

>>10393930
They come apart..

>>10393684
>but the honey produced will pay for itself
What honey?
The honey trapped inside the $600 box you can't open without unleashing a swarm of bees in your living room?

>>10394030
>Not wanting a swarm of bees in your living room.
What are you, some sort of beta?

>>10393684
>$600 for a tiny hive
>The honey pays for itself

The hell it will, especially since this is marketed to stupid, trendy faggots. Good luck getting even a couple pounds out of it, if you don't kill your hive

>>10393824
Also can't bees burrow in walls? They can probably burrow on the outside of the house and into the drywall then you have a massive fucking problem
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-9g1EdSpmo

You pretty much invite this shit into your house once the hive gets bigger than that little box they will dig through the walls to reach the rest of the hive and then your property is well fucked

>>10394227
Sauce on that webm?

>>10394235
Your childhood nightmares

>>10394235
A movie called"The cat and the fiddle"

>>10393684
I have serval concerns the first being how exactly do you harvest the honey. The second wouldn't it be hilarious if someone had this then during an earthquake it fell so the people are dealing with an earthquake and a swarm of angry bees in their house

>>10394261
I mean it's bracketed into the wall so won't fall in an earthquake it is still one trip or projectile away from breaking glass and unleashing a swarm of pissed off bees into your living room. Would make a badass break in case of emergency for if your house gets robbed though

>>10393684
Just talk to someone who has a farm or something, ask if you can keep a hive or two there. You don't need to check up on it that often, most of the work is when you harvest.

>>10394269
The thought of some crazy mother fucker unleashing bees in his own home to prevent robbers is fucking hilarious. Goddamn crashing this plane with no survivors.

>people get stung
>some allergic genepool bottom dweller almost dies
>lawsuits

>>10393684
that's pretty cool, but $500 for a box and some tubing seems excessive, why not just make one?

>>10395013
because 90% of the new and current generation has no idea how to be handy

>>10393704
A guy at work keeps bees, here in western Canada

You order the bees by mail. They actually mail them. ( baby chicks are mailed too).

>>10395221
Because schools cancelled shop classes because the unions are demanding so much money from the ever shrinking school budgets...

>>10395263
how much trouble is it so send someone a box full of live bees?
instead of sending idiots who dox themselves pizzas or qurans, why not a box full of angry bees?

>>10395285
I imagine the box would carry a warning about its contents.

>>10394235
That's a gif.

>>10395221
To be absolutely, 100% fair, even if you're pretty sure of your handycraft skills I'd still be wary of doing it myself because it's still a box of bees you're keeping inside.

>>10395285
Is it even possible to send someone a pizza now? Don't all places require a credit card or something when you order?
And why would it bother someone to get a free Koran?

I got doxed once and they went all out and swatted me. That was pretty unpleasant, but pizzas and books wouldn't bother me I think.

>>10393684
im 100% sure im not allowed to have this in my apartment

>>10393704
*disconects tube*

>>10395298
Its not one free koran, its 300 free korans. Knowing my friends and the shit I send them after a bender on the internet I imagine a box of live bees would be met with
>pfffft yeah right, I bet anon sent this with the sticker to spook me
>Lets see how many dragon dildos/chocolate skittles/Trump hats he sent this time

>>10395270
literally watching This Old House or the carpentry show with norm teaches you enough. even HGTV can teach you a few things
>>10395296
if you watched any youtube videos or googled it you can see how simple it is to make a set for bees to work in. its just layers of boxes with a few details and sills for the panels to sit in

but i digress, since this is no longer ck related

>>10393684
See proper location: >>>/out/1236173

Retarded hipster shit, have fun cleaning that thing and fighting parasites and fungus 24/7 before you die from contaminated glorified sugar syrup puke.

>>10393977
Yes, they open up. Which would let out the bees.

>>10393839
>no way in hell any apartment landlord is going to let you hang up fucking bees in your unit
Just explain to him that the bees only fuck in flight, not indoors. Problem solved.

>>10394227
>can't bees burrow in walls?
No, not really. Wherever the queen is, that's where the rest will stay.

You are just at much at risk of this hive dividing and the new queen and friends taking up residency in your walls as you are of a wild swarm deciding to invade your walls, i.e., not much.

>>10395270
It had nothing to do with unions, and everything to do with stupid kids shoving their hands into bandsaws.

At least my generation didn't drink laundry detergent.

>>10393704
Tfw I smash the glass

>>10396634
do it outside. whats the problem?

>>10395285
there was an always sunny episode about that

>>10393684
1. There is no easy way to extract honey from a unit like that. There's a reason why bee hive designs have evolved to the way they are today.
2. You'd be lucky if you got any honey from the first two years. You have to leave enough honey for them to eat and survive off of in the winter. You basically only want to extract any excess honey they produce.

If you're lazy and willing to spend money just go with the meme flow hive

>>10398472
Um you would cover the Jar, Right?
This would great for my Boat.

>>10398008
If you have a place outside where you can work on your hive just put your fucking hive there in the first place.
