During Murder Mystery the beehive in Sinclair Mansion must be investigated under Guards supervision if Bob Sinclair is suspected guilty or the player hasn't been able to determine between the six members of the family.

Investigating it prior the start of the quest and after its completion:
 * (You need the guards permission to do that)

Investigating it after accepting the quest:
 * (Its a very old beehive) [sic]

Investigating it after the player has spoken with the Poison Salesman and the distinct family members leads to two cases. One in which Bob used the poison on the beehive (not guilty) and one in which he didn't (guilty).

Investigating when Bob is not guilty:
 * (The hive is empty. There are a few dead bees and)
 * (a faint smell of poison)

Investigating when Bob is guilty:
 * (The beehive buzzes with activity)
 * (These bees definitely don't seem poisoned at all)
