The honey is the same as it ever was, but the hive is pure engineering technology. When you're finished, the valve can be closed, and the panel is ready to be filled again. A valve attached to each panel can be opened and honey collected without the hive being opened up or any of the panels removed. The front panel of the hive can be partially removed, allowing you to see inside the hive and know when a panel is full of honey and ready to harvest. Bees enter and exit the hive at their leisure and go about producing wax and honey as they normally would. Its Flow Hives give your bees a comfortable home to live in and easy access to their honey without disturbing them (via Flow ). That's the problem Flow set out to solve. Given our current technological state, surely there's a better way to get our hands on honey without so much trouble. It's a laborious process that isn't pleasant for the beekeepers and isn't pleasant for the bees. Then the whole process begins again in reverse to put the hive back together. Traditionally, harvesting honey has meant putting on a beekeeper's suit, opening up your hives, sedating the bees with smoke, removing the frames one at a time, scraping the wax caps off the cells, and collecting the honey. The foods of the future are here today, and you can eat (or otherwise consume them) right now. Food engineers are crafting the next generation of gastronomical experiences, inventing new foods and ways to consume old favorites. In the hands of the truly creative, or the genuinely unhinged, that can mean culinary creations that are bizarre and incredible. That might mean new varieties of fruit and vegetables, proteins with better nutrient mixes, or new kinds of desserts. As technology advances, so too do the ways we use it to make food. Through selective breeding over thousands of years, genetic engineering in a lab, and processing in a factory, almost everything we eat has been changed or wholly created by technology. Most of us don't spend our days hunting and gathering to fill our larders.

Ever since the advent of agriculture and domestication, humans have ceased to eat the way we used to, or the way other animals do. Yet, it's also one of the most unnatural. 31, 2022 4:10 pm UTCĮating is one of the most natural things we do.
