Philips: Urban Beehive

An 'urban' bee hive

It appears as though some 'designers' have gone on an artistic spree of epic proportions without consulting a beekeeper. I will have to admit that their design (which I hope is purely a concept); looks pretty cool.
This looks like a cool idea but lets just try to imagine how you would harvest the honey from this hive when it opens up into your house.

It mounts onto a window pane hive above the street (because that is what urban settings are like I suppose). The bees have an exit which is not at the bottom of the hive and luckily they have a couple of plants in a flower pot to provide them with pollen.

'Techincal Schematic'

This is a list of problems I can foresee:

1. How do you open the hive in your house without causing a massive panic?

2. How do you harvest the honey? You just pull it out?

3. How do you treat the bees?

4. How is the hive expanded?

This is just the begining of the questions I have about this hive; which goes to show that it is purely a romantic artistic concept.

Check out what they have to say about it on their own website. This is where I got all of the pictures for this post.
