I have a hard enough time getting them to build comb in their boxes.

I don't believe it, frankly. That comb looked to uniform to me.

BTB, I can't say either way. However, I understand that they are using these printers to make weapons that are functional. From what I've read the technology is pretty good.

oh ya, a 3d printer can do it of course with no doubt at all...this is a 3B printer...as in the article gives the impression the bees themselves filled out the comb that way....I am just not convinced...though hey, I don't know, thats for sure.

Skeptical. Where's the bee space? Also I've never seen solid comb ever. It does look cool however :mrgreen:
