[331.] Securing Frames for Travelling—-How can I secure the frames of a bar-frame hive from oscillating against one another when taking them to the moors (about nine miles away) ? I mav say that the floor-boards are in most of my hives fixed to the sides.—Beginner, Darlington, Yorhs. Reply.—If a strip of wood is screwed down firmly across the ends of the frames, front and back, and the frames have distance guides, they should travel safely to the moors. The frames may be made quite rigid by a distance rack along the bottom, but with fixed floors this is not practicable. Notices to Correspondents and Inquirers.
