Cardboard top-bar bee hive with a roof and winter covering
made
of corrugated plastic.
Extremely lightweight and easy to install. Has pockets on
bottom
to keep in place against winds. Smells to the bees like
wood.
Plastic protection is distanced from them.
The dots represent the
bees. Please ignore them... :-(

This could generate a lot of buzz ... |

I'm just winging it here, but this idea is a pollen. |

How comb you are thinking about bees? |

I think it needs a computer and a laser to do imaging of the bees then zaps off varroa mites. I actually think this could work. |

You mean in two layers WBC style with an outer and an inner? Bees have a tendency to chew through cardboard quite rapidly (as used in combining colonies), so I suspect the inner wouldn't last long and combs would be extended right through to the plastic. |
|
| |
Also, the weight of a thriving colony with honey is not inconsiderable, so some sort of engineered cardboard would probably be needed, probably plywood-type laminations of corrugated sheets. |

I, I just can't ignore the dots representing bees. They've
even escaped into the annos - usually at the end of
sentences. |

What would a beehive bee like in microgravity? I think that, since we're paying all that money to keep the ISS up there (and since the Russians are being kind enough to provide the hotel shuttle-bus), we're entitled to know. I think that a swarm of bees in microgravity would be majestic. |

Oh my goodness. It turns out that the experiment has been done. <link> |

[TomP] thank you for your informative remarks. I'll try it out
for one of the movable restrictive walls in a wooden regular
top-bar hive and see what happens... |

[all others] ignore the three dots at the end of that sentence.
They don't represent bees. |

Problems [pasute]? You know you can compact all your
feelings down into a solid compressed ball and let it all
spring out as halfbakery ideas, for use, wonder and to
envoke empathy. |
