Honey bee stuff

Any one have files on 3d honey be foundation. Or know where I could find. Thanks

HI Kim

Welcome to the forum, Glad you found us in our little corner of the web.

I personally have never heard of this before, is this like a starter block for honey bees? Can you describe a little more detail, I am sure someone here has seen it before.

Hi, Kim:
There are STL files on Thingiverse for honey bee foundation, such as DNM Mittelwand Honey Bee Foundation Carnica 5,55mm by Explorator - Thingiverse

I’ve not kept bees in such a long time, I wasn’t aware that you could use a plastic foundation. Mine were made of beeswax in a wooden frame.

Thank you I found some good files

Thanks Jason

No Problem, show us your finished product, I’m interested

Sure! Type in “Instructables” in a search engine.
Once there FIND/SEARCH “3D Honeycomb Pendant”

They are easy enough to draw too. You just need to set two or more Hexagons together and then DELETE all of the duplicate lines created where they join each other. You can build up a BLOCK of these (make sure you get ALL duplicate lines) and then copy and paste and get rid of MORE duplicate lines.

Easy stuff to do! You just need to put a rein on and have PATIENCE!

HAVE FUN WITH THE BEES!
