This hive, like the rest of the items in the collection shown, is a conceptual design sketch. It's not intended to be a prototype, let alone an actual product, and the images are either photoshopped or entirely computer generated. Unfortunately they didn't do their research very well..."pull string for smoke"? A little more realistically, how about the idea of designing homes with accessible eaves or other attractive hollow areas intended as swarm traps? *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
