I'm sure it's all possible, or you could get bees to do it! I think someone is manufacturing "drawn comb" but I'm not sure how.

Actively cooled print chamber, and appropriate temperature nozzles, maybe fed with molten wax via small heated hoses.

3D printed???

Maybe I should market my honey as "royal", after all it was made by workers in a hive with a queen! If they got into royal jelly production would they call it "royal royal jelly"?

I would definitely requeen that hive ASAP, I wouldn't count your 3m defensive rule as normal either - I can (almost always) stand 2-3 feet in front of my hives and be ignored. Beginners should be working with docile bees as far as possible, at least to start with.

Nail gun is transformative, more than halves my assembly time for frames.

Oval label centred on a face but extending over the two adjacent faces works well for me.

Is there much of a market for jars that small? Hotels?

I've never seen fragments big enough to tell the difference!

CofO?

True enough, maybe they need help with their smelling and worms!

I came across these this evening, they seem a good deal so I thought I'd share. Personally I'm sticking with 12oz. https://amzn.eu/d/eRBr9WP

Spread on a propped up paving slab, keeps them still & provides a good backstop. I was after rats but tripod mounted and zeroed to the target I'd be confident of a mouse head shot too. (PCP rifle). It didn't take many sessions to eradicate them.

Exactly why I changed to an air rifle rather than poison. Much more humane, and surprisingly satisfying. A night vision setup is a big help too! Confident head shots only! The goodnature traps are impressive but pricy. Mega-fast blow to the head.

Legally I think spring traps are supposed to be checked daily, presumably so any trapped but not killed rodents can be dealt with. I stopped using spring rat traps near my chickens after a couple were caught sideways across the back and I felt hadn't been humanely killed.

I'm not a vet (human medicine) but a quick google shows that birds (including owls) are sensitive, although warfarin was less toxic to them the modern rodenticides can cause secondary poisoning. How about one of the electric (battery powered) mouse killers or one of the Goodnature self resetting...

Many of my paradise poly hives have the sliding entrance which is not high enough for a mouse, my other hives get half-height small entrance blocks.

I'm not seeing them, happy with that!

I have many of mine that close without an issue, though there will inevitably be more drifting. It can make unites or weakening a nuc easy.
