An Outdoor Bee Demonstration

Date Posted: July 27, 2009 – 2:44 pm

Question:
Our state fair is interested in having a live hive demonstration this year. I have thus far discouraged the idea of handling them behind a screen because I anticipate the bees would get pretty stressed out if we did it for any number of days.

They seem interested in setting up a perimeter around an outdoor hive and providing a wireless mike so I can do some demonstrations there.
