EXPERIENCE
January 2023 - Present
A weekend startup company specializing in Slovenian AZ hives, a novel beehive design re-introduced to the US circa 2015. The hives are designed like a kitchen cabinet with honey frames being accessed from the rear. This superior design has been refined using state of the art CAD reengineering (Fusion 360) for precise CAM manufacturing for optimal 'bee space'; optimizing honey production, bee health, and longevity of the beehive. The Bear and the Bees takes pride in our superior designs and craftsmanship.
