There already exist a mirade of studies focusing on bees, those magnificent insects that never cease to amaze us!

However, their existence is threatened by extinction, and if that happened, our entire ecosystem would be affected as bees are vital to the pollination of some plants that otherwise would not be able to reproduce. 

In any case, today we offer you a bizarre construction that was created for the purpose of simplifying honey production by transforming a bee hive into a small factory.

You need to have a superhive aka super available (you can create one by yourself) and double lid glass jars.
