Mini 3D Printed Beehive – Beekeeper Desk Gift

This 3D-printed miniature beehive is a fully modular scale model of a real 10-frame Langstroth hive — deep box, mediums, telescoping lid, and all. It won't make honey, and it definitely won't sting anyone, but it will happily sit on a desk pretending it's doing important bee business. Every piece pulls apart, so you can rearrange it to mirror your own setup. Printed and assembled right here in the US. A genuinely funny little gift for beekeepers and the bee-curious alike (no actual bees included — we checked twice). Key Features True-to-form layout — deep box, medium supers, inner cover, and telescoping lid, all scaled to match a real 10-frame hive Fully modular — boxes, frames, and accessories separate and reassemble, so you can rearrange the configuration to match your own hive (or just fidget with it during a Zoom call) Color-matched details — light brown boxes and frames, black foundation, black hive stand, and a yellow entrance reducer and queen excluder Compact desk footprint — 4.75" tall, 3" wide, 3" deep, and just 6 ounces Made in the US — 3D-printed in PLA plastic and assembled by hand; just keep it out of direct sun or a hot car, since PLA gets a little dramatic in high heat Two configurations available now, with more on the way Note: This is a display piece — it does not include live bees.
