Serious Face:
I grew up with bees. We had 2 hives outside—just standard hives. An Orchard…a garden and lots of flowers, lots of clover in the fields; and a nearby corn field (the neighbors corn feed for their dairy cow).
But the coolest was a plexiglass hive mounted inside the house in my Dad’s study/office. Which had a bit passage way to the hive from the outside and a little landing area mounted to the outside wall.
And ‘privacy’ slide bits to shade/cover the hive that could be removed for displaying the hive.
