Video detailing a technique to grow bees in bottles (easy indoor installation)

The comb doesn't look like it's on frames. The vast majority of states require comb to be on a frame or top bar to be capable of being inspected. There are plans online for in-wall mounted observation hives that would be much better than this.

This article is a great introduction to the topic of indoor (or rather in-wall) beehives, which I was curious about after seeing a father-son duo construct an impressive setup with hexagonal 3D printed enclosures. The authors voice is very enjoyable. Give it a read if you have a few mins

Well, at least it's not hornets.

This year I put a beehive in my backyard. I can sit for hours (not really, minutes more likely) just staring at them working, going in and out of the hive. Maybe in a year or two I'll actually get honey.

This gets a solid "nope" from me, and probably everyone else who has a memory of a very painful sting in their past.

hmm. bee's can easily cause a lot of damage inside your walls. not sure how this is avoided.

Just makes me wonder what Erika Thompson's take on this project would be

> For now, it feels good to know that behind me stand centuries of bee-lovers who have had the joy of listening to the hymns of bees far into the night and smelled the intoxicating aroma of honey and propolis waft out across the room before the dawn light begins.

I wonder what that's like. Is it just another nice smell, like coffee brewing while sunlight hits your face?

Made me realize for the first time Bees are the only insect that most people don't find disgusting. I mean we literally eat what they create: Honey. It would be fascinating to watch them build their hives.

> they sing me to sleep

I read this at first as “sting” and was briefly horrified.

But bees singing is still, to me, quite horrifying, and would not at all help me fall asleep.
