This teen 3D printed a beehive for his bedroom
Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. While many 13-year-old boys might spend their summers playing video games or attending camp, Oliver Taylor decided to build a custom-made, 3D-printed beehive--in his bedroom. Oliver, who lives in Utah, built the DIY insect habitat with two hexagonal, 3D-printed units connected to his bedroom window. Bees enter through a ventilation tube attached to the window, which slightly resembles a stand-up air conditioning unit. The hexagonal hives are modular in design, meaning Oliver can theoretically continue expanding their size by connecting additional units.
