80,000 Bees “3-D Print” A Dewar’s Bottle Out of Honeycomb
We’ve seen some fascinating experiments in bio-design–like this MIT project that had thousands of silkworms building a domed structure.
This instance of bio-digitial fabrication is a little more commercial–and sweeter.
To celebrate the launch of its new Highlander Honey whiskey, Dewar’s has rallied an army of 80,000 bees to create Dewar’s-inspired sculptures made from honeycomb. Part nature, part 3-D printing, the event is being broadcast from the company’s Facebook page. There you can view a documentary on the project (coming soon) and see the hive, live.
