how do i order a beehive hotel ? jennifer olson

Hi,

The BeeHive Hotel was built as a one-off prototype and we currently don't have plans to put it into production for sale. We are currently looking at version 2.0 which will be little bit smaller, more streamlined, durable and much more cost effective than the cardboard version. If you are interested, please keep an eye out on our blog for photos!

Thanks,

Do you do laser woodcutting work for others? I sent a message yesterday about 2mm 'thick' pieces I need cut for a design for a beehive. Is this something you might be able to do? Please let me know. Thanks.

Hi!

Thanks for the note! We actually outsourced our laser cutting to Hot Pop Factory (http://www.hotpopfactory.com/) based in Toronto, Ontario. You can find their contact information on their website.

Best of luck with your beehive,

Aleks

Environmentally friendly art you can sit on sounds a little bit like a Mad Lib, but that’s exactly what was on display at the Evergreen Brick Works on
