honestly it's not as bad as I was worried it would be, given the awful wasteland that is crowdfunding.<p>If they work, features like the entrance and the one-way access to the comb seem like they are good if you have are afraid of bees and don't care to overcome that fear.<p>I can't comment on the pricing vs more traditional hives. I assume it's higher, because mass production vs small run crowdfunding.<p>Availability of replacement parts in case of breakage? hm.<p>I worry a bit about the honeycomb being exposed to direct sunlight (well, behind plexiglass), hopefully their early testing reflects all the climates they will be selling to.<p>smh at the woo around health benefits of beehive products, like "known to be useful in treating [...] hepatitis". (note: that text is from an image, so you won't find it by ctrl-f) Without even the usual disclaimers that you find near these kinds of things that parse like health claims but which turn out not to be according to the small print :-P
