Does  anyone know which race of bees is most adaptable to the 
conditions in  observation hives (least propolizing, least swarming,  
not-so-large-but-stable population etc.)?



If it is the objective of having an observation hive to observe doing what  
comes narurally, including gathering and using propolis and making swarming  
preparations wouldn't it be better to find an observation hive that suits the  
bees rather than vice versa?
