With this is incorporated the 'New Zealand bee manual' greatly enlarged, revised and mostly rewritten CUbiodiversity1228471 Year: 1886 ( 128 AUSTRALASIAN ing sight of their future surroundings, is indeed interesting. Hives for observatory purposes can be so constructed as to allow of the interior being examined at_ pleasure by the niost3 timid person without disturbing or exciting the bees. The most simple form of this hive may be made to hold one frame only, but for several reasons I prefer one that will ta be Fig. 52,—OBSERVATORY HIVES, three. The engraving represents the one I have in use. This, as will be seen, has three leaves (cases), each of which holds an ordinary Langstroth frame. The centre one is a fixture, while the two outside leaves may be opened to allow of both sides of each comb being inspected. The woodwork of the cases is made of battens 2in. wide by lin. thick; a narrow groove to take the glass sides is run along each inner edge, so that the sides may be just Ifin. apart, the length and height of each case inside being the same as a Langstroth hive. A one-inch hole should be bored out of the bottom of the front end of each face to form an entrance for the bees. Next cut an entrance fin. deep in the bottom board, somewhat like an ordinary entrance ; then over the back part of this tack a flat piece on tin having two tubes, lin. in diameter and lin. high, soldered on
