People say they taste like lobster. I think this is a bit of an exaggeration but I can see where they’re coming from, definitely in texture.

Yes, I think so. I hadn’t seen this video. Last I checked they were still in development.

There was some kind of program where they were releasing the 3d file so people could print them at home, and that had not started yet.

Thanks for the link!

Neat! So if I have this straight they’re bee feeders that keep out yellow jackets and wasps because bees can navigate mazes?

The maze thing is new to me, but this would be a cool feature too.

Oh I thought that was in the video but it must have been in an article I read about it when I googled

From what I understand, stametz had said that he believes that certain fungi in trees serve to inoculate bee colonies against some diseases, theorizing this is why bees build their nests on trees.

So, he is using these feeders to grow fungi, attract bees, so that they can be inoculated further by fungi when their nests aren’t in trees as well.
