Observation hives

 

Observation hives are a great way for a school, business, non-profit or homeowner to get an up close look at bees and their hive. Sandwiched between glass, observation hives allow us to see into a world that is largely unseen by even beekeepers. Here at the Great Lakes Bee Supply, we consult with people all across the country and right here in Michigan, to help them determine if they are interested in installing an observation hive, the details of the installation (including cost) as well as physically doing the install too.


Below are some pictures of installs we have done. If you or someone you know is interested in having an observation bee hive installed, please contact us. We have a lot of experience with observation hives and we use a licensed contractor in the process. Contact Us for more information.
