The beehive contains viewing panels which allow the hive be viewed, providing an education component. In addition, the top bars and honeycomb may be removed from inner chamber for viewing. When a top bar and honeycomb are removed, the bees stay on the honeycomb, reducing the need for protective gear or the bees to be smoked prior to working with the hives. The vented top bar beehive is suited to the way bees naturally want to create their hive and is easy to maintain, making it ideal for noncommercial beekeepers who want to decentralize beekeeping, enhance local pollination and help offset colony collapse.
