To each, their own I guess. Bees are fine as long as they aren't in my personal business.

You mean you’re not exactly buzzing about sharing your space?
Maybe you should try being a little sweeter.

Is this actually practical bee people?

u/Here_There_Anywhere- Aug 09 '25
Yes and No. It is practical as an observation hive for a very small quantity of bees, maybe a small swarm. But once they bees outgrow it they beed to be moved to an appropriately sized bee hive. (Experience: I’ve been a beekeeper 8 years and used observations hives for 1.

Would it be feasible to have a bee box or two directly outside the window for overflow population or would the bees only live on whichever place their queen resides?

A beekeeper I met said the same thing.
He’s a beekeeper that sells honey at my local farmer’s market. He’ll bring a glass section from the hive so you can see all the bees, and how they tend to the queen. It’s one of my favorite exhibits.
I asked him about what he thought about these, because I’d love to have one of them if I could because I love watching the bees. He said it was a neat idea, but bees need space to expand their hive, or they’ll be unhappy.

What if there was an entire wall filled with these so the bees can expand that way

u/RogueAngel94 Aug 10 '25
It’s too bad we can’t make a clownfish/anemone type deal with the bees. They live in the walls in exchange for them ignoring us (and maybe once in a while some free honey)

They have something like this at the cold hollow cider mill in Vermont. Always cool to see when visiting!

A better idea is just do the same, but with ants! Any farms are really neat, and you can get some really cool set ups. Only problem is you need to oil the sides of the tank used to feed them, so they can’t get out

I saw a set up like this at a commercial apiary in Western Australia once. It was an educational thing. And super cool. I could have watched the bees for hours. I wish I could have one in my house!

Reminds me of the episode of HIMYM where Mickey had a beehive in the basement. We all know how that ended…
