Design: The Hive Honey Set
Materials: Blow Molded Glass & Turned Maple
Designer: Andie Olive
"When I took up beekeeping this year I became captivated by the incredible complexities and ingenuity of the Honey Bee. As a tribute to my girls I wanted to design a honey-centric product that seemed a bit more considered than some bear or cartoon hive."
VOTING IS NOW CLOSED ON THIS ENTRY

"The Hive Honey Set is informed by the natural geometry that makes up wax honey comb. Each individual cell is a rhombic decahedron which is formed by a combination of optimal heat and pressure. Interestingly, the bee's control this optimal temperature with beats of their wings!
Available in clear and frosted glass (**Sorry no pictures yet of the clear**)
Set includes:
- Hive Jar
- Capped Cell Lid
- Bee's Butt Dipper
The hive honey set is slated for an October Release in stores."

great simple design.
Incredible!
Love it!
It looks great, but it seems like it would be difficult to get the honey out once the level gets low.
I like -
- but what is pic #5???
That is the designer's cool apartment!
And why does he have a wheelchair serving as a living room chair? (not to mention I didn't understand the caption)
This is such a provocative design. Very biomimicry.
Fab design, especially love the applicator being called the "Bee's Butt Dipper"
really beautiful
Great design, and practical - easy to fully open and clean. Honey is sticky!
I'd love to buy one.
I missed the price point...
I love this, I love honey and can't stand the mess that comes with it. I agree that a teddy bear doesn't do honey justice. Would definetly buy this!!!
Love it. Beautifully designed. Would love to buy one
I know Andy from school and she's one talented designer, way to go Andy! Love your design.
