Title: Observation Hive
Post by: Wandering Buddhist on November 22, 2005, 10:08:22 AM
A nearby nature center needs an observation hive, and I would like to see what is out there.  I am looking for ready-made observation hives and also plans to build them (I have found the ones listed on this site).

Any and all information appreciated.  I would like to give the nature center as many options as possible.  Specific links or companies would be useful.
