Classroom Hives has been placing observation honey bee hives in local New England K-12 classrooms, higher education institutions, and centers for informal learning since 2001. Inspired by the hive on display inside Boston’s Museum of Science, these self-contained habitats are specially designed to safely bring small honey bee colonies into the classroom as a daily experience. With bee populations declining globally, we aim to help educators foster student observation, inquiry, and an appreciation for these fascinating and critically important insects.
This website is primarily designed to help people plan, build, install, and maintain their own observation hive. If you are in the Boston area, we also have premade hives available for sale and beekeeping services available for hire to maintain our model observation hive. |
