Yes, the Museum on Natural History in Raleigh, NC has an indoor observation
hive.
I just headed up a team that put an observation hive in the Riverbanks Zoo
here in Columbia, SC. Give me a telephone call and I will be glad to
discuss.

>Hello,
>
>The Museum of Natural History in Nova Scotia is considering setting up
>a demonstration bee hive the help visitors learn about bees,
>pollination and insects in general. Does anyone have any references,
>advice or experiences with demonstration hives set up indoors? We
>were wondering things like:
>
>How far are bees willing to travel, say through a plexiglass tube, to
>reach the outdoors?
>
>How do they react to lighting of the hive interior (eg. through
>plexiglass sides) or movement of people near the hive?
>
>Has anyone had success overwintering bees indoors (we're at
>Lat. 44 00 00)?
>
>Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Please reply
>directly to me, or to the list if you think your information may be of
>wider interest.

>Thanks for your help.
