I don't know if anyone has seen this:
http://www.gizmag.com/philips-beehive-concept/20412/
But wow, this is bound to make a few bee keepers' angry.
I especially like the "..You can even pull a cord and inject a little smoke to calm the bees down.." Mentioned if you wanted to try your hand at collection of honey.
But I know that smoke doesn't calm down bees it simply kills them.
I may be very wrong on this but, It looks like a proto type that I am not in favor of as it says nothing about a queen bee and it also says nothing about the care of bees and the like. Just a sort of put up this thing and have a cool looking hive if bees decide to be invited in and move. This sounds very silly.
Now the idea is interesting and would be good but the implimentation is silly.
What do you all think?
