>>> I wonder if anyone has had experience with having an observation hive
at a county fair where the bees have the ability to leave and return to the
hive. I'm thinking of setting up a hive that would have a tube that would
allow them to enter and exit through the roof of the building. Is this a
crazy idea? <<<
