A beehive as a case study for additive digital fabrication?

By iaac | Published: October 24, 2010

Bees One can see bees as perfect, small machines fabricating with high precision wax honeycombs to protect their larvae and store honey and pollen. They are ‘programmed’ to reproduce in an endless series a very optimised structure of hexagonal cells with very thin walls. This construction is fabricated by bees producing their own construction material [...]
