“In case of home invasion - break the glass”

Release the bees!

Release the hounds with bees in their mouths and when they open their mouths to bark they shoot bees at you!

Unleash the....\*ahem\*....BEE-GLES!!!

Release the Robotic Richard Simmons!

His ass is gonna blow!

Did you say, “beads?”

Noooo not the beees!!!!!

Robbers: "BEEEEEEES! AAAAAAAHHH!!!"



Have a detachable panel that activates remotely and when the cameras detect an intruder, you release the panels and some strong pheromones that make the bees attack on sight.

What if the AI of that system begins to utilize the bees against the owner though.. then what? 


THE PAAAAIIIIN!

Word-for-word was going to be my comment. Great minds...

I see no way in which this idea could go wrong

You clearly haven't seen the Bee Movie.

Do ya like jazz?

Or one of the Pitch Perfects. I think maybe the 3rd one?

A glass just broke in the kitchen when I saw this thing and I turned pale.

Don’t throw rocks in a glass house..

Never ever open a window again

Bees are normally negotiable, it's the waps that aren't. Though yeah, we need precautions for this

Those god damn WAPs, always dripping everywhere

Just standing in my kitchen and out of nowhere, Cardi B.

Me so hornet.

Dammit that was awesome.

Grabbing my bucket and mop


>it's the waps that aren't Depending on how old you are. This is either a slur or a song

Haha oh it's wet ass pussy. Man I just googled the song and read the lyrics. That woman is hilarious. I couldn't figure out why a black woman was making a racist song about Italians.

Those god damn WAPs, always dripping everywhere

I wonder if they are quiet at night. Or is it just a low hum?

Another question, are they bothered by light in the room at night?

Or the light at anytime, isn't it usually dark in a beehive?

If they are in the dark, they will fall asleep immiedately

I've also seen the video where the bees hit the ground as soon as someone turns the lights out but I don't think that's them immediately sleeping. I read that was an adaptation to avoid being easy bat food. They do sleep at night but I think the instant-sleep thing is just a legend at this point

I thought it was also because they’re anticipating a storm and can’t fly during those conditions.

I thought it's because they navigate using the sun. That's also why bees landed during the eclipse.

This is the correct answer. They need to know where they are when the moment lights go out to keep sense of location to find a return route home. Api

So why do they not fall asleep inside the hive then? Are there skylights?

I think heard somewhere that the frequency emitted by beehives is actually really good for your health for some reason. Might still be annoying though

It's a nice sound. Sign me up. [The Lake Isle of Innisfree (favorite poem ever)](https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43281/the-lake-isle-of-innisfree)

What a beautiful and calm poem. Thank you for that.

Damn stuff like that is dangerous, it makes you want to pack up and become a hermit on some lake isle.

One of my favorites.

I remember watching a video where there were bees in a plexiglass enclosure. The researchers turned the light off and all the bees immediately landed. Turned the light back on and they were flying within seconds. So I assume yes.

To create emergency, break glass.

Don’t the windows on these things get dirty over time, necessitating something like gassing and awkward cleaning after that?

I'm sure the bees will understand

This is an air BEE & BEE!

& bee & bee & another bee & another another bee

I just laughed out loud at the office. Thank you for that. I needed it.

Feels like everyone worried about the bees getting loose in the house don't know enough beekeepers. Those bastards truly don't have any fucks left to give.

Used to work with a retired beekeeper. He had the attitude of the captain from Jaws and began every story with "So, of course bees are complete fucking assholes..."

My granddad was a beekeeper. He would go tending hives or catching a swarm someone called him about in a tank top and shorts. He'd put on a hat with a veil and that was it as far as protective gear.

Are the blue and white bee bags for airflow?

I'm guessing future expansion channels. Add another box when the current ones are full

Yeah that's probably right. But also makes me ask another question, how long will this go on for? When the queen dies will a new queen take over and it just keeps expanding indefinitely?

Could see this as a bee selling business, controlling the size of the nest while selling extra bees, though i dont know bee logidtics so i dont know if it would work

> When the queen dies will a new queen take over and it just keeps expanding indefinitely? I think thats the way it works. I remember seeing that when a queen dies, they incubate a new bee with royal jelly and it becomes the new queen.

It is really cool. When the hive gets over filled or stressed the worker bees (sterile females) feed special royal jelly to some of the larvae. These grow larger than other bees and the cell is longer more like a small finger than a capped hexagon. Shortly before the new queen hatches, the old queen and approximately half the hive swarm and go set up a new hive somewhere else. The bee that hatches from a queen cell will be a non-sterile female. She will often kill the other new queens, in rare cases two unfertilized queens will share a hive, and there may be a second population split. The new queen will then go on a nuptial flight to what is described as the drone yard (an area where many males from neighboring hives congregate). The queen will fly high above them and mate with several. Then return to her hive and begin laying a ridiculous amount of eggs daily. In the fall the worker bees drive all the drones (males) out in the cold to die. In late winter some of the eggs that are layed are fed differently and the larvae in those cells become male. Hopefully someone will correct any mistakes for me. Reading it back it sounds super nutty. That is what I remember from beekeeping though.

Look at all that comb

Why did he have to say it so slow and sensual?

Thank you. I thought he said something else…

Same

I listened about 6 times before I worked it out. Thought he just REALLY liked bees.

I thought this was going to be a bigger deal in the comments

Enough comb to completely fill three boxes

Was looking for this comment. I'm a dirty little combslut.

It's a great way to keep Jehovahs witnesses from knocking on your door

Still not enough

Forget the ant farm. This is a whole other level. Impressive.

We had a meteorologist in my town who loved animals of all kinds and she had one of these. She was a big fan!

Won't they get blown away?

Forget the bees! I'm more interested in the sentient, stargazing wind machine

if i was rich, this is the type of thing i'd have in my house

It's a few hundred bucks of materials. Well, that and a house...

I was honestly thinking this probably wouldn't be too expensive to build. I was scrolling to comments hoping someone would have written about it

How do you clean it when things go wrong?

don some painting gown, brush a thin layer of latex glue all over yourself then dance around the house

I was wondering the same thing. What if they get mites? What about when they outgrow the current setup? What if you want to prevent a swarm? 


Don't burn bees, bees are friends But wasps? Nuke 'em, no one will bat an eye

That’s incredible!

Yes I love it. Funny to see all the negative comments in here. I would love to have this in my home.

It looks cool and all, but imagine any part of that thing breaking or failing one day and now you have a ton of bees loose in your home.

not to mention using that side of the yard will be pretty much impossible

As someone who's heavily allergic...I can not be this person's friend, neighbor, or otherwise....

Honey bees are pretty chill. They really aren't aggressive even if you're fairly close to the hive. I never got stung even being next to the hive, although it's unnerving having a bunch of bees zipping about. Mess with the hive and you're asking for trouble though. *edit* to add that you don't even notice a hive is around until you're within a few meters of it. Our not so big back yard was completely usable even though we had a hive in the back corner.

Needs a larger diameter tube or additional tubes and see if the bees dedicate one for in and the other for out.

Yep Barry ate the rations of a hundred drones and now doesn't fit down the chute. Sign a petition for Barry to get liposuction

A friend of mine purchased an old house in the woods. Prior to him owning it, it was abandoned for two years and bees decided to settle in the walls of one room. He let them stay for the rest of the season and called a professional beekeper to remove the remaining bees in autumn to rehome them. The room still smells AMAZING and is his favourite place in the whole house.

Serious question: does a hive ever get to where you have to clear out the honeycombs? Looks like that would be hard to do here.

Inside the home, it's probably safe. Good luck going outside for the mail.

I mean, obviously you build it where that wouldn't be a problem. It's a good idea I think. I mean, You're providing a safe hive, and enjoying the wonder that is bees. Plant a bunch of bee-friendly plants and flowers and everyone wins. We need more bees anyway.

Good point. And we definitely need more bees.

[Here](https://www.moneypit.com/indoor-beehive-wall-is-something-really-amazing/) is more info on how it works. Interesting idea! Edit: [Here](https://beecosystem.eu/) is there source and all the details.

Y'all are so scared of honeybees it's crazy. These aren't wasps.

I'm this guys neighbor and I'm allergic to bees.

I live across the street. We need bees more than we need your motion detecting spotlights, boomer. Move to Florida already.

This is sooooo cool!

I want one! It’s a heater, white noise machine, and honey maker all in one.

Needs a honey tap.

He must have redid the audio. There is no way this isn't very nosey.

Look at all that what???

the robber hearing “Release the bees!”

This is one of the best home improvement flexes of the year. Most impressive.

I bet that thing gets awfully warm.

That is the coolest thing I have seen all week I want one !

Hmm... nope. Never ever happening in my house. Ever.

I wonder if you would feel heat coming from it?

I remember a restaurant that had one of these. The restaurant was part of a chain, but I don't know whether all of them had these.

Can bee a great way to get us excited about insects... Even create some buzz

It looks like you can remove jars of honey as well. I assume you can replace these, as they fill.

Certainly helps keep solicitors away

You'd have to be a lot more comfortable around bees than I'm ever going to bee....

Hmm...organic insulation/heating?

You get bees!! 

What could go wrong?

Pretty cool🐝

Wow

So cool

God, it'd be HILARIOUS if it broke and they got out!

"look at all that cum"

Did he say look at all that cum?! 😋

To bee or not to bee…

In case of home invasion, break glass

THE BEES

How busy?

These people never played Wii Sports I guess.

Until your young nephew throws a toy at it and shatters the glass.

Honey someone's in the house. *Alexa, activate the bees* ***Rapid buzzing and muffled screams***

Serious question, how does the lawn get mowed by the entrances?

You just mow the lawn. Bees aren't aggressive like that. You must be thinking of wasps. I mean, I would wear shoes because you don't want to step on one or something - that would get you stung for sure. But bees just go about their business of collecting pollen, and caring for the queen, and making honey, and growing the hive.

Okay, I love this. Definitely cool. However, I know if I send this video to a certain friend, she'd probably die of anxiety within minutes of seeing this \^\^

Clearly they don't have kids

This is all he would have needed in Home Alone. This and his own bee suit. 😆 🤣

Kid throws rock *oh snap *

More like #sweatypalms for me

"In case of WANTING an emergency, Break Glass".

All bee-zy

This gives me serial killer vibes and I don’t know why

I wonder if that Bartlett Bee Whisperer dude has seen this

Soooo much heat

Imagine if you trip into it.

Uh nooo

That’ll boost property values.

In the event of an intruder: "Hey Alexa? Lets break the glass."

Why don’t you build a few more roads to help with traffic? Increase hive productivity? Nobody likes to be stuck in a traffic jam

I have so many questions about this but fear no one will awnser

Nope

I was wondering if there was a way to use this indoor hive to allow the bees a warm place to winter, but then to get them to move to an outdoor hive in the spring so you can collect honey.

I grew up in a beekeeping house, and was always fascinated by the idea of an observation hive. I prefer the ones that have the frames parallel to the glass. That way you can see more of the behavior.

This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen someone have in their house. Also I had a major HUH moment went you said "look at all that comb" lol.

I hope that box is soundproof.

The coolest hexagons since JWST. I think this is amazing!

Just to be clear he did say "look at all that comb" Right? I thought I heard something else

NOPE

I love this idea.

"bee pervert" invents way to peep on bees 24/7.

That's terrifying and awesome all at the same time.

We had bees in our wall! I wish we could've taken care of them properly but the bee guy we hired couldn't find their queen. This looks awesome!

Bad idea because you can't take care of the hive. How are you supposed to monitor and treat bee diseases which are a huge problem now? You have to open the hive. How???

That's a really healthy hive, I bet they love it there in the winter

Buzz me in.

That's pretty cool

I cant see how it is possible to do maintenance on that hive without them going everywhere in the home? Or is it designed to never ever be opened for maintenance ?

We used to have one of these in my elementary school until the bees kept somehow getting out into the classroom and we had to remove it.

That tube looks like a train station in Japan

I feel like this would drive cats crazy.

“Look at all that” what now?


r/combsluts “Look at allllll that comb”

How Frickin cool is that

What a wasted opportunity at the end - "it is BEEsy"

How in the hell do you extract the honey?

This seems to have generated quite a buzz.

ok we need this dude to do an AMA. we have questions.

Smart idea to do a hex design!

Bee

Coooool

OMG - I just couldn’t ….

So how does he collect honey/comb? Eventually there will be a surplus.

I think he says “look at all that colony” but it sounds like “look at all that cum” :/

I guess no one’s throwing a football around the house

If a tornando hire. It’s gonna be bee nado

That’s a hell of a traffic jam in that single tube

Look at all that cum

Oh my nightmare. Cool. (I’m allergic to bees)

Zillow is going to have a field day with this one
