I sell a product that uses natural raw honey from a beekeeper that you all know. I have about 6 hives in my backyard, and try to raise beekeeping awareness at my company events. I recently had a request to give a live demo to a group of 'influencers'. I figured I'd set up an observation hive. I bought this: https://www.mannlakeltd.com/observation-hive, Hoping I can order a queen, make a split (I would overwinter the split as a nuc since it's late for splits), leave it outside for a week, then close it up and bring it with me. Little did I know there are top ventilation holes and it's not meant for outside use.
I don't live full time where my bees are, and didn't want to open up a good hive, search for the queen, have it go queen less for 3 days, etc. Does anyone have an idea for a solution? The demo is next Friday, so I have time to order a different type of OH and receive it on time.
Thanks
