Amazing Photos of Bees in a Bell Jar

Honey bees have fascinated people for centuries, and people have built many types of hives to observe them.  Forcing bees to build combs inside glass jars is a common theme for observation hives. A bell jar was placed on top of a mini hive and bees from the nucleus started to create foundation of a hive in the jar. Once the foundation is laid, the bees work in masses to form the rest of the hive. (Pics)
