I have built and installed many observation hives for both nature
centers and schools (including NYC). The most distant I have shipped is
Washington State (from 50 miles east of NYC). I always stress that the
cost of maintenance should include monthly visits by an experienced
beekeeper. I charge for it with the locals and they generally pay
gladly. At many of the locations, I have been told that it is the most
popular exhibit for children of all ages. I have interchangeable single
or double frame widths on a common base so that we can use a two frame
width in winter. They winter much better but limit viewing of the
queen.
I also carry small observation hives into schools. I carry $2M
liability to do this. See my articles in ABJ, probably almost three
years ago?
