Dear Stevens,
Although pest control is not my speciality but may I suggest you to
contact the Swiss Open-Air Museum Ballenberg.
http://ballenberg.ch/en/Info/Contact
They do have an indoor beehive open to the outside (building rear) for
bees by a transparent channel visible to the public.
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.
Yours sincerely,

Interesting conversation and Link... I agree that a museum setting
might not be the best place to have an active hive..
Especially with regards to paying visitors and Bee sting allergies!
However it could be an interesting web cam project if remotely
located.
I forwarded the link to the Haven project to a friend of mine who
leads an urban beekeeping effort in Minneapolis...

Last October, we had this presentation at our monthly meeting of
The New York Entomological Society and possibly this is being
installed?
Speaker: Jarrett Mellenbruch
http://deepecologyproject.com/
Presentation:
"HAVEN"
Jarrett Mellenbruch studied at the Rhode Island School of Design
and has exhibited his work in New York City, Kansas City and Tokyo.
He is a third-generation beekeeper and an adjunct professor at the
University of Missouri - Kansas City Department of Art and Art
History.
HAVEN is a proposed nationwide network of living beehive sculptures
for both honey bees and native bees. Unlike conventional honey bee
hives, which have been developed for the easy harvesting of honey
and other bee products, and need frequent maintenance and "hive
management," HAVEN is a self-sustaining hive designed solely to
promote the well-being of its honey bee inhabitants.
Prototype development for HAVEN was funded by a Rocket Grant from
the Andy Warhol Foundation and the project launched with an
installation this summer in a public garden in downtown Kansas
City, Missouri. The goal is to place 1,000 HAVEN sculptures in
parks, gardens, museums, universities and private properties around
the country, thereby creating a coast-to-coast sanctuary for honey
bees and a educational interface for natives.
HAVEN seeks, through the power of art, to effect real change in the
current honey bee crisis, as well as to raise public awareness of
the importance of native pollinators and the interconnectedness of
all species.

Hi Abby,
Just to clarify: do you mean a beehive as in the wooden, box-type
with multiple honey comb frames in? Will it be active or an empty
one on display? Or is it the kind found in nature? Just some
passing thoughts
My two cent - Active or inactive, I can't imagine it not having
some impact on the IPM. If it is a newly made box-type hive, I
suppose you could have that chance of wood boring insects. I have
also read about other insects taking up residence in active hives,
mites, wax moths (don't know anything about these guys as a threat
to anything, just that they get ignored by the bees),
even mice! Then, yes, as you mentioned, this potential
for dead insects in the hive = food for baddies.
OK, anyway, this is assuming an active hive, I'll stop now. J
Best,
Matt Mickletz

Subject: [pestlist] Beehives
Dear all,
Our Museum is keen to install a beehive somewhere around our
building. Obviously this is of concern to me, as I don't want to be
introducing lots of insects that can find their way into the
building and die, thus becoming a food source for more threatening
pests. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience of the
kind of impact a beehive can have on IPM, and can highlight any
potential problems or ways of reducing the risk that a hive might
cause?
Many thanks in advance,
Abby
