[QUOTE="John B, post: 1889, member: 207"] Nearly 50 years ago I set up a one frame observation hive in the biology lab at high school. It had clear plastic tubing leading to a hole in the wall and the bees quite happily walked in and out. We had dark curtains to give them some privacy and they did pretty well. Biology was the only subject I was really interested in and so when I was asked how often it would need to be checked I told a little white lie and said that it needed monitoring every day so I got to spend my lunchtime in the biology lab. I think that was the only time I ever enjoyed high school. I was going to do fifth form biology but my careers teacher told me, and this is a direct quote ; biology is for idiots and girls. So I left school and went beekeeping. Funnily enough over the years I have met many many brilliant biologists, even the girl ones . [/QUOTE]
