Beekeeping: There are some beekeepers who use observation hives for assessing the health status of their colonies without necessarily opening up the main hive thus reducing disruption to the bees.
Public Engagement: This gives opportunity to the public at large on close interaction with bees thereby creating awareness on the importance of these important pollinators and their role in ecosystems.
Education: Observation bee hives are employed in schools, museums and other educational facilities to teach people about the behavior of bees, hive structures and how different types of bees are used within a colony.
Research: Therefore, scientists and researchers use observation hives as tools to study bee behaviours, communication among them, and other facets of bee biology in a controlled environment.
