Steel Beehive

Item

Section titled “Item”

The Steel Beehive is a modern, reinforced apiary system designed for environments where wooden hives would rot, warp, or be stolen by raccoons. Once deployed, it attracts a micro-colony of hyper-adapted bees that generate honey and beeswax in fixed harvest cycles.

Its humming sound is strangely therapeutic, though the manual warns against sleeping beside it.

Legends speak of a beehive made of pure silver - but steel is safer, and doesn’t melt during solar flares or by jet fuel.
