Whoa!  Pull over to the side of the road, and come to a full stop.
License and registration please.
I'm officer Fischer of the Physics Highway Patrol.

        Isn't a hive body with glass on top the most simple
      form of a SOLAR WAX MELTER?!!!???

I'm afraid I'm going to have to cite you for:

  A 101.5-L:  Premeditated hive-a-cide, by um, baking or frying bees, melting
              wax comb, and causing honey to run down to the bottom board.

  A 917.3-H:  Willful and reckless ignorance of not only the most basic laws
              of physics, and failure to even notice that YOU get very hot
              when you set in front of a window in the full sun.

  A 987.12:   Cruelty to animals, to wit, putting a pane of glass between
              the bees and full sunlight, prompting them to smash themselves
              endlessly into the glass until they die, perhaps even before
              they are slow-roasted by the concentrated heat in the hive.

Stop pointing that "top entrance", that's not going to vent enough air
to make up for covering the top of an entire hive with a sheet of glass.


Lucky for you, I am not in a mood to do paperwork, or go to court on my
day off, so I'll just take that sheet of glass, lean it here up against
a tree, and have some target practice will you go fetch a proper cover
for the hive.

Run quickly now, because after I shoot the glass, I'm going to need
another target...
