I had a observationhive in a classroom (second year)
Kids ± 9 /10 years old.
It was a two frames hive with a plexi-tube (1'inch, diameter) straight
through the wall
First floor classroom
I start with one frame with queen cells and one with honey/sucker
The teacher was so lucky to keep the kid quiet;
she had only to mention the bees.
There were no trouble at all.
Just for holiday in july , we extract a couple of honeyframe (from a other hive)
every kid goes home with a self extrated honey jar
I got 50 drawing of friendly bees back from them
greeting, jan
