I came across this in my travels today,
http://www.good.is/post/urban-beehives-get-a-redesign/
The last paragraph reads,
'The design firm Omlet has taken on this challenge in the past, with its plastic "Beehaus," but other innovation is sure to result. The entrance deadline is November 28, and the organizations involved intend to mass-produce the winning design and install it at sites around the local neighborhoods.'
This was posted 6 October 2011.

'Deadline for submissions is 28 November 2011 with a shortlist announcement expected in January 2012. Shortlisted designs will be prototyped and displayed in February 2012 with the winner announced following the exhibition.'
This looks like a new design in 6 weeks and on a roof near you this year, without any kind of testing !!
