Yeah, bee up my butt,sorta. And actual bees in my yard.
Been inundated with folks sending me this stuff each time they finally run across it on their social media.
Frankly, I don't want to hear about it until they get it to market. The campaign now is not that. The campaign now, is "Give us money so we don't have to come up with it out of our own pocket."
Aside from having a generally skeptic's opinion about the usefulness of the product, I have an even lower one of folks begging for money.
My opinion, based upon my actual experiences dealing with keeping bees, is that the sales pitch does not match the likely reality, esp. after the gear has been in the hive long enough to have been cycled at least once. Between having honey crystallizing in between the sections, variable, depending on the source of the nectar, and the bees natural propensity to glue stuff together or cover over any sharp edges or gaps that they cannot fit through, with propolis, also variable, depending on the bees themselves and the available resins, all I see here is a really expensive and hard to clean novelty that won't work after a very short period of time in use.
It looks like a good idea if you don't know any better. Like a lot of well marketed ideas.
