I found an inspection camera for $55.00 today ,   I've wanted for quite a while the lowest price I found was around $89.00 a few months ago. I tried it out on my hives , it fit through the mouse guard , I could see bees clustered between the frames, I have a couple of removals to do this spring, It should come in handy to see the extent of hives in walls,along with alot of home projects.

How about more information. Maybe a link or photo's.

Yeah...I'd be interested in some details...

The ones I've looked at have been priced at around $100 more than the numbers you're mentioning...

I found it at Walmart, Burlington, Iowa ,they have an aisle for Christmas, that has all kinds of special tools, they only had 1 left when I got mine, you might check Walmart.com if you don't have a local store, the camera is a whistler brand real time camera.

I think the cameras are a special deal, the ones I saw on the website are twice that, I wish you luck, I felt lucky to find this one , there was a large box of these the day before I bought this one.

Yes Carol that looks just like the one I bought. It is a Whistler brand ,Old Mech. It was in the middle of  an aisle by automotive and sporting goods with boxes of knives, tools and other Christmas gift type items.

  Thanks! I have wanted one of those for a while but had never considered looking into a hive with one. Double bonus!

Acquired a Bosch PS90 this past year & have used for 5 cutouts, I did not want do cutouts before having a tool that would provide a way to better quote a job. So far pleased with the PS90 however pricey for unit that did not come with recording accessories. Of note the exploratory holes for the probe are 1"; pretty large and want fit in a spark plug hole LOL. Appears the probes become more expensive the smaller they are.
I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it.

When I tried mine out the bees were clustered ,it didn't seem to bother them too much , but I just took a quick look and got out, the camera has 4 brightness settings on the light I had it on the brightest to see some detail, on one of the dimmer settings you just see a bunch of tiny eyes looking at you.
