I have a Draper observation hive, and Draper delivers it daily. I keep it right
here on my desktop...  (Windows(r) active desktop, that is).

It is a *virtual* OH. and I don't have much maintenance, since it is
automatically refreshed from http://www.draperbee.com/webcam/pic/image.jpg
periodically.
