  2. Where we left off… • Standalone expanding beehive boxes • Access boxes without heavy lifting • Reduces risk of back injury https://peapix.com/photos/25013

  3. Customer Needs Product Attributes Engineering Specs. Reduces the forces required to Required operating force ≤ 20 lbs stack and unstack hive boxes “Boxes full of honey can get “I have to use smaller boxes up to 90-100 pounds.” because I have a bad back.”

  4. Customer Needs Product Attributes Engineering Specs. Reduces the forces required to Required operating force ≤ 20 lbs stack and unstack hive boxes Ability to swap out boxes Modularity (Y/N) Y “Once a year you have to rearrange the boxes to relocate the colony.”

  5. Customer Needs Product Attributes Engineering Specs. Reduces the forces required to Required operating force ≤ 20 lbs stack and unstack hive boxes Ability to swap out boxes Modularity (Y/N) Y Cracking propolis seal is as easy or easier than a standard Ability to crack (Y/N) Y hive “You have to make sure that you can still crack the propolis glue between the boxes.”
