I’ve been thinking about getting into beekeeping, but my wife says I’ve hit the limit on hobbies that require a safety suit.
Just had a nest move into my black walnut a few weeks ago. Gone after a few days. Very fascinating to see the process. Kicked the squirrels right out of the neighborhood!
*Edit:* I don’t want to be dishonest. The only *safety suits* I own are for my motorcycles, other ORVs, a chainsaw suit (chaps, mask, gloves, ear protection), and some chainmail in case a LARP breaks out.
These shots are from a web series my dad and I make about his journey into beekeeping.

There is a bee hive that has been built naturally on a large tree over the last few months. It is growing out of a large stump hole where a high branch must have fallen off. It has been so interesting to watch this hive grow over the past few months, Iāve never seen a natural hive in the wild before.
I would never do this, but every time I see honeycombs I have the urge to step on it for the crunching feeling… normally I’m not that self destructive.

Isn’t an old sweat box for dried fruit an ideal place to build a hive though?
I have OP tagged as “ALWAYS BEES WITH THIS GUY”
Why the different color variations in the hive? Why are some parts almost black?

Wow, that’s amazing that bees will build in something that looks exactly like a bee hive box.
No shit they’ll build a hive in a fucking wooden box.
Oh boy looking at that hive makes me incredibly uncomfortable

Yes, two people lift up a bee hive box and the only text is in the title. Such an educational gif
Cool fact, bad representation. That box doesnt seem very different hardly at all compared to a “bee box” or whatever
/r/titlegore
It’s just a box… there’s nothing remarkable about that in the slightest.
Opportunistic is not the same as being innovative.
Not sure if innovative is the word you’re looking for. Not sure how this is innovative…
This made me itchy
I wonder, how long does it take for the bees to build a beehive the size of this one?
“bees will build their hive inside anything! Look! Here’s them building a hive in a normal wooden crate! Amazing”
Wew that gif made me feel all kinds of itchy and uncomfortable.
Eli5: how do beekeepers get the bees to make their combs aligned along the parts of the box that lift out, individually, rather than some other way?
OP I donāt think you know what the word innovation means
āEven this near exact replica of a bee hiveā
Fuck this box, theyāll build a hive in a pile of old shoes,
Its the same design every time. Doesnt seem so innovative
I’m a bot, *bleep*, *bloop*. Someone has linked to this thread from another place on reddit:

A simple algorithm bases on available space doesnt qualifybas innovatve.
Ants build nests around rocks and shit, too. Amd they arent innovative
I would never do this, but every time I see honeycombs I have the urge to step on it for the crunching feeling… normally I’m not that self destructive.
Nope!
Or maybe bees are stupid enough to make a home anywhere. What makes it innovative?
Do the bees try to sting through the suit? Or do they realise is doesn’t go through and not sting?
Nature… uhh.. Finds a way.
I found a nest in a blanket covered in old puke… they were not doing well and the removal and attempt to rehome failed š
What about a cum box?
That title though
I fucking love bees theyāre so cool
