Issue #162 - Bees

A colony of bees make honey

Welcome to Friday.

Bees. Bees are our friends, and the team at the Hive Project are doing all they can to help our hard-working friends thrive with an electric beehive.

On top of this, the team at The MagPi have produced a brand new Essentials Guide, helping you make the most out of the world of Minecraft.

And if that’s not enough for you, we’ve also seen some great tutorials this week, so why not build your own printable Farmbots and watch the progress through a pair of digital binoculars, while checking the weather on a Weather Pi?

What a week! See you in seven days.

Peace,

Alex
