If I were to tell you that my living room is filled with bees, your first thought is that I probably have some sort of infestation. But actually there's a company that creates indoor beehives that you can mount onto your wall. It's not only a great way to give bees a save space to create their honey and call their home, but it's also incredibly cool to look at everyday as you walk by.

The unique indoor wall mounted beehive is made and sold by the company Beecosystem, and they come either in singular octagon shaped hives, or you can get larger systems with multiple connected octagon hives for a more intricate system.

The indoor beehive design is meant to be a way to observe the inner workings of a bee hive, and help educate both adults and kids about bees! It also serves as a great way to spark up conversation about bees and the important role they play in the environment.

How the indoor beehive works is that it mounts to the wall inside your house, and a small tube gets strung through your window to allow the bees to come and go. An entry on the outside allows the bees an easy way to get into the Beecosystem!

The Beecosystem must be mounted to the wall within 4 feet of any double-hung window, though as close to the window unit as possible is always best as it minimized the amount of travel the bees have to do to get to the hive.

The indoor beehive comes with a mounting bracket which you can easily screw to the wall wherever you'd like it hung!

After you've hung the Beecosystem, just measure the length to your window and cut the included bee transfer tube to fit between them!

An included insulated foam block comes with the indoor beehive kit, and goes in your window opening to prevent your window from constantly being wide open, especially hen you have the air-conditioning or heat on.

Just stick the tube through the foam block, and connect it to the magnetic attachments to both the indoor hive and the entry on the outside.

The indoor beehive can work great in any kind of home, including single family homes, townhouses, and even apartments in high rises! As long as you have a sliding window, you can install the indoor beehive anywhere!

If you'd rather install the Beecosystem beehives outdoors, you can do that as well!

The Beecosystem also uses a modular design that allows you to expand the hive into more octagons when you start to get too many bees inside. Just get another octagon from their shop, and it connects right to your exiting one.

The Beecosystem indoor beehives are sold and shipped from Netherlands, so it may take a while to get to you, but it'll surely be worth it once you get one installed in your home and you can view live bees while you sip your coffee each morning!

You can snag the indoor beehive from around $780 bucks for a single octagon hive from their online shop!

Expect to pay quite a bit more if you'd like more than one octagon to connect a bigger beehive system in your home!

You'll be sure to want to learn about beekeeping and harvesting honey before you install the Beecosystem!
