My initial thought is video games, everything has pros and cons, sure. However, it feels like anyone not into video games views them extrodinarly negatively. Any other hobbies parallel to that in your opinion?

    If you build Warré hives and/or trap your own bees it can be very cheap. Trapping takes patience though and is easier in certain climates.

      I don’t have a workshop so ability for making things is somewhat limited but might take a look at options. Got a folding saw and that is it for cutting wood, it certainly won’t be a perfectly straight cut and I more use it for cutting small branches.

      Perhaps it would be possible to come up with something though without spending too much. Trapping the bees does make that free which is rather appealing. Unsure what sort of success rate that would have in my garden.

        Warré hives are specifically designed to be built with simple tools. I believe a saw and a drill/screwdriver is all you need. Cuts don’t need to be perfectly straight and there is no fine woodworking like you need for Langstroth hives with frames.

          I probably should get a drill sometime rather than borrowing it from my partners family… Do have plenty of screwdrivers though. Then it is just a matter of trapping them.
