Easy to imagine- will do that next year -
Is polyurethane nibble proof- (dont know what it is
) - but sounds familiar.
There must be stuff on the market that is nibble proof and not cold - hellfire they are sending men to Mars (Lord knows why- this planet is more than enough for us to mess up!) - surely there must be a substance cheap and easy to produce...
Don’t tell anyone that I told you this, because it comes straight from NASA!
This new system throws a grid of laser beams at the entrance of the hive.
Using HR, that’s Hum Recognition, with sensors both inside and outside the hive.
It works like this.
The system is set up to the hum frequency for your bees. When the bee either wants to gain access to the hive or leave the hive, the grid is shut down so the bee can pass.
However, if you’re Mr Mouse or Wasp, works for both, they approach the Laser Grid singing the wrong tune so the Laser cuts them into diced sized pieces.
I know what you’re thinking, how can it shut down so fast and not hurt the Bees, well it works at the speed of light, yes that fast, if not faster.
When they first put this idea into prototype, they used a little touch pad each side of the entrance and it would recognise the foot print of the Bee wanting to pass and shut the Laser Grid down.
The only problem with that idea was that each Bees foot print had to be registered into the system and it took longer than they thought. Then just as they finished, the Bees upped and died and new ones came along, so they had to start all over again. HR is much better!!!
To start each unit will cost a little over a Million Pounds, but they have said they will offer a bulk discount and like everything, the unit cost will come down the more they sell...
But the other idea I had was to ask Hedgerowpete if he will take it on in his shed and make a video. That man is a wiz in his shed...
Now before I go, there may be some people out there thinking, what a load of rubbish, bees don’t have foot prints, but they do, go and look for yourself !!!

Someone will no doubt have the exact day, but I will take mine off (when its setup), when I see an alternate easier to get food source for the mice, which will be when the temps rise and stabilise.
