This looks to me like a Photoshop picture.  
 
The plant in the holder on the outside of the window is misleading is  
interesting - either they want us to believe that  a single plant at  the 
entrance serves some useful purpose, or they want us to believe that  somehow one 
is able to water and maintain a plant in pristine condition, against  a 
background of glass, with no wilting.
 

The combs also look to be too perfect.  The argument for the  tinted glass 
makes no sense to me.  I could see UV blocking light, but  amber?  Remember, 
its dark in trees and most beehives.
 
Finally, unless one has a way of cooling the hive, the whole system is  
likely to overheat when the sun shines directly on the glass window and the  
attached glass or clear plastic bubble.
