Along with the honey exhibit, ten colonies of bees were also placed on display. The boxes housing them show, that not much appears to have changed in beekeeping.
A group of wooden bee colonies is arranged indoors, viewed through a glass partition with a central column. Several stacked hive boxes with latches and handles are visible, and some frames contain honeycomb. Light filters in from the background, highlighting the beekeeping setup.
