In 2006 and 2007, the Module 6 exam (on "Bee Behaviour") had questions on running Observation Hives.
They asked about the location, set-up, stocking and maintenance in one case of a private and the other a public obs hive ("from May to September").
1/ Is this something that has dropped out of the syllabus, or could it still be asked? (There is no specific mention in the current or ancient {Yates 1st ed} syllabuses that I've seen.)
2/ Or is it just a question about congestion and swarming?
In which case, wtf is the difference between public and private?
3/ Any good instantly-available guides to running an obs hive?
