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.

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...

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.

However once you have been trained and have the right system, it’s very very simple. Suzanne's experience is not uncommon and one of the major reasons why anoxia has taken so long to become an established method. Previously people with a problem either had to source the various components and try to work out a method or to employ a contractor, who in some cases may not be ‘skilled in the art’ either. This is a great pity as anoxia is a perfect method for conservation. It is gently, pesticide (and any other chemical) free with minimum risk. As opposed to most other methods, including freezing, where there clearly is an identifiable risk. This is why I developed the ZerO2 system:- To give conservators the ability to access all the right materials from one source, at a reasonable price and with expert training and support. The many delighted customers and case histories we have bears testament to this. I do not think it reasonable to doubt the value of this effective method based on people using inferior materials and poor technique. Colin Smith Conservation Ltd.

We had trouble keeping the bag from getting holes in it and achieving a good seal. The ZerO2 system looks fairly easy to use. I'd be curious to see who has used it in the us. For our project, we wound up purchasing a freezer for about $700. It was much easier in the long run. We bought a fairly large one ca 7 feet across ca. 3 feet deep and 3 feet high. We got it from a discount appliance center in town-they delivered it. By far this was the easiest way we found for treating the art and was relatively cheap compared to the purchase of all the materials to do the anoxic atmosphere. Plus we have the freezer for future fumigation, cold storage, or emergency freezing should we have a leak/water emergency. It can always be turned off and left hinged open when not needed to save energy. It may seem like overkill, but at the very low temps, we froze some hxtal and it lasted for weeks!
