Hi Beau,
I know that the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History has a bee colony with a tunnel that leads outside, or at least they did the last time I visited a few years ago. Hope that helps!
Best,
Stephanie

Hello,
There has been some discussion of having a bee colony at our natural history museum and I've been tasked with finding out more about how it might affect the collections. Of course, when I first heard the idea, I didn't like it in terms of collections management. So, I'm wondering what others think. The idea is to have a colony that visitors can see from inside the building and the bees would have a tube/tunnel so they could access the outside. I know there are a few other museums that do this, but I'm not sure they have permanent collections to preserve. It seems like it might be alright if we take extra precautions to keep them confined to their hive area. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Also, if anyone knows of other museums with bee colonies that I might talk with, recommendations would be great!
Thank you.
