Gadget Allows You to Keep Bees In Your Apartment

greenrainbow writes "Philips just unveiled a new concept for an urban beehive that would allow anyone to become an amateur bee keeper – even those who live in apartments with no backyards. Best of all you pull a little string and all the fresh honey you want comes out. Hopefully no bees come with it!"

I'll admit... it's entirely possible that I don't understand the meaning of that word.

It all depends on a person's fetishes...

So...

So... it's Christmas, you have your entire family over, Uncle Pete is drunk again... doing his rendition of Grandma got ran over by a rain deer... trips of your sons new dump truck, reaches up to balance himself and pulls the entire hive down and crushes it under his drunken body as your relatives look on in horror. There's about a 3 second pause before you hear a single slurred word from Uncle Pete: "Owe... I think I gots bit er somthin... *gurgle*" the room erupts in screaming as people start climbing over each other trying to get to the door. Queue the Monty Python music, you'd better hope Santa brings you some calamine lotion.

Now I want one!

I was not interested in owning this device until I read your post.

Re:As a beekeper

[nschubach]

the normal way to do this is via centrifuge, and generally, you want to do that without the bees.

And deprive the bees of a carnival ride?

as a non-beekeeper, WTF?

[Thud457]

NO , the bigger question is why we have more than four people claiming to be beekeepers on /.
That's a demographic, there.

Just in case you're mind's going where I think it is, on no account should you stick your dick in a beehive..... At least without smoking it first.

Without SMOKING it first?!?

And you're worried about the beehive being a sexy fetish ....

I'll wait...

until they've worked the bugs out.
