The public is quite impressed by this setting and the only comment we may give is the odour the setting is releasing (not necessarily pleasant). Beside this, it is quite nice and very didactical as explanation are directly visible (social rules etc...). Hope this help.

To post to this list send it as an email to pestlist@museumpests.net To unsubscribe please look at the footer of this email. --- I am not a beekeeper, so I don't know what the possibilities are of the colony splitting off from the wooden-box type hive you have described. If bees from the box-colony scout out a different location and try establish a new colony, you could end up with some pretty extensive problems. I have helped coordinate the removal of honey bee nests in wall voids on property here in Williamsburg, and it is not a pretty sight. Often, the process involves cutting large holes in walls to remove the nests and honey. If not, you can imagine the mess that would occur with insects and rodents (and secondary scavengers like Dermestids) being drawn to the honey as a food source.
