I want one for Harry Potter prints. I'm a huge fan of the HP franchise and being able to print my own collectables would be great fun. I'd love to also try painting them by hand, which would be particularly challenging for me, and hopefully even more rewarding, as I have both coordination and...

It's a separate hobby, so I decided to explore ways to make use of it for beekeeping. I certainly wouldn't invest in a 3D printer just for printing beekeeping supplies, I don't think it would ever make sense (at least not for me personally). It is a FDM printer. Resin is on the Wishlist, mostly...

I decided to try my hand at printing something useful for keeping bees... A bee escape. 😀 Now whether I'll ever use it or not remains to be seen, but I had the filament going spare so decided to print it. I've just about got everything I need to actually get started, so printing stuff like...

I bagged myself two of the Defender bee suits for £40 each. Absolute bargain at that price if the reviews are anything to go by. I've got two Sweinty Breeze suits on the way, so the STB suits will be backups and for guests. I also added a spare hive tool, uncapping tool, uncapping knife and...

Truth hurts. :LOL:

I'm going to do that now! My wife will think I've lost the plot...

When can you tell you're completely obsessed with beekeeping? When you start 3D printing miniature bee hives... :LOL: (I even 3D printed the entrance reducer...) I'm even 3D printing the frames, a feeder and crown board...

I placed an order with Thorne this morning for their sale. Because the weather was terrible, my wife suggested we drive to collect the order and have a look around the shop. (Am I the luckiest man alive?! :LOL:) What a great place to visit. I was like a kid in a sweet shop. I got a few bits...

With me going for Honey Paw Langstroth hives, what's compatibility like with things like Langstroth wooden crown boards, ekes, etc.? I'm creating my next shopping list. :D

Thanks, I'll take care not to. If I may ask though, why is it an issue?

So that's 3 hives built. :D The next job is to paint them. I've gone with a nice sandstone colour. It's not overly bright and hopefully will mean they don't stand out as much. Now I just need to buy the feeders, a nut or two, bee suits, smoker and fuel, and some food. Roll on the bees...

We went shopping yesterday for glue and paint. I'm thinking a nice sandstone colour, as it'll blend in nicely with the surroundings. I'm keen to avoid making them stand out. I had a mild panic about the glue, as I thought finding PU glue would be easy, but none of the labels had ingredients I...

It was more about the chaos in the kitchen than the cost. My wife knows how much my bees are costing me. :) (And I know how much her horses cost! :ROFLMAO:)

No bees yet, it's just the amount of parts. My wife looked at the kitchen table and I felt her wrath! :ROFLMAO:

My Honey Paw Langstroth hives have arrived! My wife said "Oh great, they're nicely boxed up. You'll be able to keep them stored nicely until Spring." They're now unpacked, all over the kitchen, and it's chaos. :ROFLMAO:

I've been playing with this too, and it's surprisingly clever. It's trained on a variety of data to give it a lot of knowledge, but it has some inherent biases due to being trained by humans. Here's what I got it to do: Now it clearly doesn't do comedy very well, but that's literally written...

I'd second this. I've really enjoyed the Haynes manual, as a complete beginner.

For the Smoker, I'm thinking about the Thorne Empire stainless steel smoker with guard. It seems to be noted in a few places as a good smoker. Beekeeping suit wise, I'm leaning towards the Swienty Breeze. The suit looks really well crafted and I really like the look of the hood on that suit...

Welcome. :) This place is amazing. I'm new too, but in the month or so I've been here, I've learned loads, and have been given loads of advice. I've decided to go with the Honey Paw Langstroth hives. They're light, so more manageable for me which is important, and more thermally efficient...

I pulled the trigger on the hives. I went for 3 Honey Paw Langstroth hives, each with two supers. I'll be ordering additional supers another time. I'll need to paint them too. I'm looking at beekeeping suits and other equipment now. Can I get some recommendations or comments on my initial...
