Here an observation beehive has
been constructed, having large
swarm of busy inmates. This is at
tachet to the window and opening on
them outside, allows the bees to fly
in and out. usually across the park.
After a while they return to their
quarters with their bodies literally
turned yellow from the accumulated
stores Of pollen. Almost Immediately
they proceed to deposit this in the
frames set in the interior, containing
the honeycomb cells
