Happy Hydroponicing!

Very interested in seeing how the hives go
wow cant wait to see how the hive project turns out
I’ve been hankering to start bees. I’m thrilled to see you’re working on prints for hives
Great stuff as usual Mitch.Your food forest looks so good you cansoon have open days. l0l
That’s a big steal @ $7.. Why not also do a drinker besides the feeder, so that the combo is taken care of!
I would love to see what Mitch might come up with for an outdoor cat feeder. We have barn cats it would be nice to have a feeder for them if we had to be gone a day or so.
Can you do a video on vertical DIY aeroponic tower, with a misting nozzle instead of just a waterfall ?
I’ve been wanting to try out the Flow hive, but I have an Apimay hive and it’s made of thick insulated plastic and doesn’t open. Good hive tho… interesting mini hive. I think I’d have to stack several of those smaller sections on to make it big enough for all the bees from one of my hives. I have another hive, a home made top bar hive that i made from half a water barrel. I didn’t know the bees would cross comb on the top bars when I put them in or I’d have separated the top bars by a quarter inch or so. Makes it hard to get the honey comb out when I want to harvest. Another thing I discovered about using half a water barrel is that in the winter moisture builds up in the hive so you have to put drainage holes to let the water out in the bottom AND the bees will try to plug them up. Transferring the bees to another hive is my plan, but I don’t have one yet.
the walls on the hooch hive are way to thin. Bees need some insulation buffer. Might be functional as a mild climate nuc hive for splits. as it looks to be about the same volume as 3 standard deep langstroth frames. I get you’re tying to keep within print bed limitations. Personally not a fan of any plastic contact with my bees…that’s why I don’t rate the Flowhive. I would recommend trying to use standard frame dimensions as it will allow interchangeability of frames between different hives. My personal preference is to make a euro spec long hive out of a sheet of ply and use the 4ft width as the hive length using standard deep frames. Or think of it as a top bar hive using deep frames…
i was going to say the same thing. bees can regulate their temperature, fanning if it is too hot, and dancing if it gets too cold, but you need to buffer them from the outside temp. there needs to be insulations. i find the thin pine boxes to be bad even. Wyoming gets cold fast. insulation is a must
Dude I would love to see a long form deep dive into bee keeping. It makes complete sense for you to have a hive or two to help with pollination. And I can already see the wheels turning in your head about making mead. I know your gonna do it.
Where are you getting your PETG for $13/kg?

As a South African, It’s so good to see you after winter and doing well. Loving the channel. Keep it up, mate.
Yo! Galengal! You gonna take Tom Ka soup?
Great updates, subbed to the patreon immediately, one question I have is what do I cover my print with to prevent bacteria? Internet says water based polyurethane works, do you do anything like that?
plastic not good for bees as black attracts heat and turns the chemical reaction to slight fumes inside whilst bees will cook unfortunately. love the concept tho
Please move ur hive locations to shade b4 adding bees 😉
<3 Hoochoo life
Bees are cool.🤘
What made you go with European honeybees instead of native stingless bees. Rob Bob has a colony of stingless bees. I’m sure he’d make a split for you.
I wonder if a flash with a torch or heat gun would seal these prints.
