Bees Make Hive In a Jar

This short photo essay is absolutely beautiful, and makes me want to build a glass beehive. Anyone know if that is possible, or if it would actually be damaging to the bees even if it were out of direct sunlight?

From fizzyenergy.com:

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.
