I am consistently entertained by the explanations, rationalizations, and
theories espoused for new bee equipment designs, and the outrageous claims
expressed and implied.
The reader will be reassured that the designers have tested their hive for
an entire year before calling it a success.
At least it is not another horizontal hive.

People tend to send me low serial numbers of new inventions, perhaps hoping
for investment capital, perhaps hoping that they can get the media to come
and take photos of their product if it is set up near the media empire HQs
in Manhattan.
My bees just don't seem to care, and "like" any reasonably-sized cavity that
is dry, and ventilated well enough to not get too hot in the summer rooftop
sunshine.
I tend to give away these experimental hives to the first person who shows
any interest, and shake my bees back into boring old wooden mediums mostly
unchanged since circa 1900, camouflage-painted to match rooftop HVAC
equipment, with a few that are comically painted to look like brick
chimneys, whatever blends in with the roof. At some point, drones will
become so common that the privacy of a rooftop will no longer be sacrosanct,
so camouflage has seems a very good idea when one's hives are surrounded by
several million people, all professing a deathly allergy to bee stings.
