I thought it would be soooo cool and look rich, and it does, but i'll be an old man before i know it!  Oak is beautiful but heavy!  I have 2 oak hives and one pine and yes, there is a drastic weight difference.
     So just a heads up for anyone wanting to try something different.      BEWARE

They look beautiful for sure.  The weight difference is certainly nothing to ignore.  I feel for your back man :)
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

I've seen some articles on making furniture out of bee hives. When those boxes get too heavy to lift regularly, they would make very attractive end tables!
