British bee-keeper's practical note-book, followed by a description of the and how to make it, a home-made hive from used boxes, how to build a bee house, and short rules for the management of moveable comb-hives . Scale. ift. 2 ft. Ins. iiiii mil TLJL Feet. from drawings of my own hives, made in 1892, and the followingdescription applies to them :— The floor-board, covering-of Toof;- casings, bodj- and surplus-boxes, are made of selected American yellow pine half an inchthick off the saw, ^nd if cut with the perfection of nowadays, allthe dressing required is a skim over with a hand-plane to removethe saw marks. If this is attended to, it will be found, when thehive is put together, that the outside sizes marked on plan tally (: 61 ), with the principal inside dimensions originally given by W. B. The frames of the stand and roof, as well as the hive proper, aredovetailed (not simply nailed) together. Where required screwsare alone used, and these are previously dipped in paint, the over-laps and plinths being screwed from the inside. Where the woodoverlaps, it gets two coats of white or red lead and oil are no hand-holes, the plinths of the case and the ledges on. .^^^^•^••^^^^•^•^••^•^^^•^^^•^^^••^^^^^•^^^^ J—1 I I --?*
