Found this on the website for horizontal hives...Layen hives to be specific.
Lots of free plans on how to build hive, frames, stands.
And then there is the "bee bed".....

No thanks!

(In case people were wondering, the there's a beehive underneath a coffin-sized "bed" so you can sleep feeling the vibrations and listening to the hum of the bees, all without risk of being stung)

Any idea how to find the nearest B&B&B? Bed, breakfast, bees. Would like to try it. Not something one normally gets a chance to do.

Sleep?  No thanks, but this would likely be a great place to meditate!  I can't imagine how much those vibrations could help the body.  

Freedom!

That looks SO nice!! I want to meditate or nap there!!

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

I'd give it a try, for sure!  Here's an article on the "why?" of this system:

What we've got here is a failure to communicate. The solution is in this tiny ad:
