Bee Hive Burr Puzzle Authentic!! Jean Claude Constantin Difficulty 8/10. Condition is New. Shipped with USPS First Class.
I clearly listed this as “authentic” because this is made by Jean Claude Constantin and there are others here on eBay that are not. Those are cheaper because their mass produced out of cheaper materials. Make sure to read the descriptions. Bits and pieces is not an affiliate of Jean Claude. This one is much better quality and made by the man himself. Don’t be fooled and get the authentic original.
Beehive is yet another great design made by Jean Claude Constantin, an assembly pyramid puzzle comprised by 11 hexagon-shaped pieces. One of the great things about Constantin's puzzles is that most of them are quite affordable and widely available.
The elegant design made with a stylish wooden stand and a wire rim complements beautifully the shape of the finished puzzle. The pieces are made in two types of wood, darker in the tips and in the middle section, and lighter in the outer edges, which makes the pyramid shape stand out even more. While it's a Constantin's design, I'm sure it wasn't built by him, because as you can see, the pieces don't line up perfectly with the stand. Just a bit of improvement cutting the pieces with more accurate tolerances and the appearance would've been perfect.
Because the pieces are all different in shape and color, this is a highly difficult puzzle to solve. The pyramid has a length of 5 by 3 unit hexagons, which in total is 45 units. Given the fact that the darker hexagon shapes are six, and knowing that the pyramid looks the same seen from either side, you would expect to have 18 dark unit hexagons... In fact, there are only 17, and that's quite unusual, to say the least.

Lastly: 9 times out of 10 - if you place an order before 2 PM eastern I’ll get it mailed out that day. And then Saturdays before 11 AM eastern. I myself make a lot of purchases online and I don’t like waiting for shipping. The shipping costs are outrageous. I charge three dollars for shipping each puzzle and then usually still have to foot half the bill plus fees. So please keep that in mind. But if you make a larger order I will refund any extra shipping cost. That is my attempt be as honest as possible in hopes for return customers. Thank you again Puzzle people.!!
