A project log for Design and Build an Artificial Beehive.

Completing my final year project, producing an open source beehive, and hoping to interact with the online maker community

LID

The beehive has slanted lid so rain water can 'run off' the hive without leaking into any other compartments. It is also made up of a thick layer material in order to reduce the amount of heat loss through the roof.

FRAME HOLDER & FRAMES

The frame holder will maintain at 8mm bee-space between frames. The frame holder is to be hand drilled into the main body using M6x65 screws.

SUPERS 

The honey supers have been designed as two separate parts (so they can fit into a CNC machines build volume) which are easily assembled using press fit joints.
