I had a telephone conversation with a lady this morning asking the
following question:

Would it be possible to hide a piece of paper in a beehive
for over 30 years w/o it being destroyed? I don't know how/if it was
protected. This supposedly happened in Lithuania, some time after WWII. The
paper was supposedly discovered in 1998 and the address on the paper was
readable. Did not learn if it was from a "working" hive.

What do you folks think would be mitigating factors that would allow such a
thing to happen?
