I had the pleasure of purchasing in person at the Beek meet. Such a cool display piece.
I purchased this mini hive at the Iowa Honey Producers Annual Conference and I love it! Since beekeeping is an often conversation in my life, I have it in my home on display and find it so handy to show it to others if I need to explain a hive setup. Lewis @ HillCo, LLC did a really amazing job 3-D designing & printing this to make if look real.
Thanks so much Jayne! In the interest of transparency, we didn't design the hive parts ourselves, we used files that are available online. Lewis takes care of all of the production work though!
I purchased one as a retirement gift and was delighted with the details. The mini frames and the entrance reducer are charming. We added a plaque on the side marking his years of contribution and he proudly displays it in his office!
