Bees: their natural history and general management: comprising a full and experimental examination of the various systems of native and foreign apiarians; with an analytical exposition of the errors of the theory of Huber; containing, also, the latest discoveries & improvements in every department of the apiary, with a description of the most approved hives now in use CUbiodiversity1178150 Year: 1842 ( DESCRIPTION OF THE HIVE OF HUBER. 261 one of the frames. The up- rights are eighteen inches high, and one thick, and fifteen lines broad. The up- per cross bar is of the same thickness and breadth. The cross bar is ten lines broad and four lines thick and is placed at the height of six inches and a half. The lower one is square, six lines thick, and is placed about an inch from the bottom. At the two ends of the eight leaves, or whatever their number may be, there is a frame at each side; each of which is destined to receive a glass partition at the side of its interior, and at its exterior a shutter. The opening of the frame, to receive the glass partition and the shutter, is ten inches in breadth, and fifteen in height, the whole within the work. Hinges are affixed, that they may be opened and shut at pleasure. The leaves are made of deal, with the exception of the two outer ones, which are made of oak or walnut wood. The leaves are united only on one side by the hinges; for were it to be constructed otherwise, the risk would be run of crushing the bees in shutting the frames. In lieu of the hinges, two cross bars, nineteen inches long, fifteen lines broad, and four thick, enter at the middle of the height, and from the two sides of the two glazed frames, a small iron pin is put into the part which projects along the side of the eight leaves, and is received in the holes regularly bored ; and with the view of fixing the whole firmly, there are four wooden pegs, or wedges, sloping gradually
