Given the photo of examination it looks as if the first lesson should be to demonstrate making a frame with secure bottom bars so the comb doesn't fall out on top of a beginner/novice.

Oh come now. Surely you appreciate being given a rhubarb plant to help control your varroa.

Nice design, an improvement on some ideas I'd had so well done to them for making it but doubt the bees will do well and I wonder how long before the perspex is covered in bee faeces... As for the marketing nonsense, tend to agree with the above posts!

I wonder how long before using an axe backwards to drive a post into the ground will continue before the user needs their head stitching together.

I’m intrigued by the fact they say they hold the “intellectual property ” rights to a polycarbonate box with holes in the side which fits in a Transit van.
Do they really think someone else will try to “muscle in” on their market.
Best use of the box would be as clear crown boards!

Many have tried ... most have failed. I suspect that they will be another flash in the pan.

Is the Beehaus still made?
I notice it isn’t on the Omlet site

They stopped selling them in the USA a while ago - I would not be surprised - they also seem to have discontinued some of the Eglu colours as well - signs of the times perhaps ?

Completely & utterly agree - a company promoting & encouraging utter bolax. In my view should be treated as a severe case of AFB, burnt & buried.
Creditation to iso whatever whatever - always amazes people/businesses buy into this

Rant over

I think that gauntlets through a clear box to handle "hazardous" goods is pretty well established "prior art" and their claim to hold the intellectual property is nonsense. I guess they could try to licence it to Porton Down!

Come in, folks, they probably have a side-shoot. They supply hives with the purchasing businesses logo on and for the business that buys most from them they award a giant tankard, annually. This is presented to the majority shareholder as "Mug of the Year".

Worst kind of greenwashing for corporate clients

Don't knock it , I have home made rhubarb and ginger jam and occasionally thymol 'infused' honey on toast. Been Varroa free for as long as I can remember.

"Rent a hive for your home and get fresh organic raw honey delivered safely directly to your door."

I wonder where they're getting their organic honey from?

Exactly!
It does make you wonder what planet some people are on.
