. The bee-keeper's guide; or, Manual of the apiary. Bees. 218 THB bbb-kebphr's guide ; course, can only be used with loose bottom-boards.

A. J'ones. bottom-boards are very desirable; for quick cleaning of the hives when spring opens, the movable bottoms are preferable. There should never be but this one opening. Auger-holes above, and openings opposite the entrance, are worse than useless. Except in very damp locations the hive should not rest more than five or six inches from the ground. Tired and heavily laden bees, especially on windy days, may fail to gain the hive, if it is high up, as they return from the field. For extracted honey, we use a second story precisely like the body of the hive, except it is a half-inch less in depth; that is, the sides are 9)4. instead of 10 inches wide. Mr. Dadant prefers half-story hives for the extracting frames, but he uses the large Quinby frame (Fig. 95). If we wish we can follow Da- dant, and use two or more of these upper stories, and tier up, in.
