Timber Framers Guild Forums General Off Topic beehive for your living room!

Hey look at this. I was discovering MyOldTools.com and I found this page:

That's too cool! I'd love my own personal "observation hive!"
We're suffering from parasites and disease up here in the north,, might allow for seeing problems before they're problems!

Maybe put a pipe in from every wall to this one type of display, put some nibblies in the display, and see what wanders in for a snack!

Nah.

Did you see the queen in that hive?
Do you know how to tell which one she is?

I would like to have that. I just wonder what would happen when you have to mow the grass right outside of the hive (we don't have africanized bees in IL). Would the honey bees attack? I don't think I'm allergic to bee stings. I've only been stung by wasps before. It burns for a little while, but the swelling goes away after a day or two.
