TableView

The

TableViewTM

STATIONARY

VIEWABLE BOTH SIDES

available in deep and medium frame sizes 

    The TableViewTM observation hive is an economic alternative to our other models and is at home on a table or any supporting surface. As with our other models, you will witness the amazing world of your honey bee colony. You will watch the queen inspect and select brood cells and lay thousands of eggs. Observe the nurse bees feeding those eggs and cap them, and, in 21 days, take delight in watching a new little bee chew away that cap, emerge to rub herself off and grow to become a selfless, hard working member of her colony.

   Just imagine watching all of the marvelous activities that happen in your Honey Bee colony.

    The TableViewTM includes a full featured Hive Case and 2 transverse support feet with surface protection bumpers and the outside entrance unit and thru wall pipe. The bees enter and exit through a lower side wall in the Hive Case to a clear or opaque routing tube (not included), then through the wall to the outside entrance unit

    To remove the TableView Hive Case to the outdoors for servicing; close the Hive Case door and remove the Hive Case from the routing pipe., temporarily plug the routing pipe then remove the Case to the outdoors. This models comes with instructions for creating your routing pipe from locally available, inexpensive fittings.

All Models come with installation and hive management instructions. 

    Note; 6 to 8 frames of bees, comb, and honey can bee heavy. You may want help removing your Hive Case to the outdoors. 

Wax foundation, frames, bees and glass are not included.

Please Note: Observation Hive Cases are presently shipped without glass. Please purchase glass locally. Simple installation instructions are included with the Hive Case, although we suggest that you take the glass frames to a glass vendor and have your glass vendor install and seal glass.
