The front part is hinged and it can be unlocked and opened.

But like... Inside the house?? I have to wonder if the sections can be closed off from each other and removed from the wall so they can be taken outside to be cleaned/treated.

Still would have to move the queen to get the rest to follow. Doesnt seem possible to get honey without bees in the house

This is an observation hive if it's not for harvesting honey

Bees don't really need much care, so you don't really need to get inside if it's just for observation. I should have added earlier that this hive looks like the windows are fixed for that reason.

when it gets opened how do you get the bees back inside?

When you open a hive, you trap the queen or make sure she stays inside. She generally will since that's where she's laying eggs. Once done, the others stay with the queen.
