Nuc box as an observation hive? Yes!

G'day everyone

So I'vebeen wanting an observation hive, as it was suggested to me that they are a great learning tool. I have been trying to find good plans for one, and there are some, but they are normally large indoor style like this or similar-

Or an Ulster type that is basically a 3 frame Nuc boc with a glass frame holding lid, like this-

There are heaps of other types too, I think the skys the limit with it to be honest. I know here in Australia it would have to be framed for legal reasons. The indoor type doesnt suit and I was considering the Ulster type but felt viewing is limited and I would like to have a minimum of a 5 frame box for the bottom and would lose all that activity. I knew it would most likely be in the back yard and so I decided that one of my already made boxes would suffice. I simply took a sheet of A4 sized acrylic I had and measured 10mm in from that and cut out 2 walls of the box. I then added simple pivot latches and dowl handles and screw the acrylic on the inside wall. I did have to order another sheet of acrylic since I only had one so that should be here soon. I will either use the box as a nuc still or I may make it a permanent mini colony. If I do Ill add a second box on top and do a similar thing.

Cheers
