        The Smithsonian in DC has a hive at least three stories high.  This
makes sense;  Bees have been building hives is high places (trees) for millions
of years <grin>.  Good place to live as not many critters around at that
altitude to bother them.

Hello again,
 
Does anyone know how high up one can put hives?  Right now, we have a
healthy observation hive about 20ft. up, but I'm wondering how bees will do
if I put a hive >5 stories up.  How will they do from the top of
the John Hancock (Chicago) building?!!!
