>>>>>>>Is it
possible to simply borrow a few frames of bees and brood to put in the
ob
hive and then return it after the class session?  Will this work...or
will
it kill the bees?  <<<<<<<<<<


That is the way most people use observation for education sessions. They
borrow brood combs and bees from a colony and return it a day or two
later. It should be just fine. You want to provide an exit if possible,
but in your situation that is most often not possible, and therefore you
want to provide adequate ventilation so the bees can regulate the temp
and not be regulated by it.
