Ross Hexagons

摘要

Last year I decided to do an experiment that required the cooperation of my bees. I thought it would be cool to have comb honey sections in the shape of hexagons.I custom made a medium frame, and a deep frame with hexagon "cells". The medium frame was designed to have four hexagon cells, and the deep frame eighteen plus cells.For the deep frame, I drew the hexagonal pattern onto paper. Next, I transferred the pattern onto W plywood by laying the pattern on the plywood, and using pushpins to outline each hexagon. The pushpins made holes in the plywood, and after removing the pins, and paper, I connected the "dots" (holes) with a pencil. I had to do this procedure two times for the deep frame. For the medium frame, I drew four hexagons directly on the plywood.
