It turned out great! Did you use the two-colored acrylic for the front? 
I used purple and yellow acrylic and finished it with a black base. I painted the engraved text and bee with some nice metal flake dark grey paint. It was a fun project!!!

The paint worked out great…I wasn’t sure how well it would stick on acrylic but it looks just like the one i did.
You are an awesome designer!!! Thanks so much for sharing this design. I think I’ll make one for the master bathroom downstairs too. It was kind of cool to load the design after the assembly and create an extended base with the “Create New Outline” tool. It took about 2 seconds and I was off to cutting a nice black acrylic base to cover the mounting holes. Cool and quick!!! Thanks again Jules!!!

Jules,
My father-in-law started a hive (is that the correct term?) about 18 months ago — has split it once. He will get a buzz out of this!
Hoping to see a lot more bee themed items – I could really fill his Christmas stocking with bee themed gifts (he is soooooooo hard to buy for that having to do a stocking on top of a gift is difficult.
Haven’t ordered from Innovative Plastics before so will check them out…been waiting on my eStreet order for like 4 weeks now I think.
Thanks for sharing!

@davidgal2 and @rebecca built a 3D honeybee design based on a Thingiverse file…he might like that too. I think David has the link to the file in his thread here:

I just finished a couple of HOURS in the community looking for all the bee ideas/designs — do you know how many results I got (more than I can count) because there is Bee/s, beer, beef, been … thanks for the link!

You need to make yourself a sign or something for the wall… “My brother took up beekeeping and is now covered in hives” 
brother works better than father-in-law for the joke anyway

It could be from his son (my husband) and use “my dad” in place of the brother phrase

Love bees! Thanks!
@rbtdanforth , Do you mean wood bees? They like to bore into our railing on our back deck! Pesky things! We just replaced the railings last fall so I definately am going to have some 5/8" dowels on hand! Thanks for the info!
