Each, too, has been superseded by the other, to the satisfaction of the person making the change. The kind most used consists of a box, in which hang the frames which hold the combs. The adjacent frames are so far separated that the combs, which just fill them, shall be the proper distance apart. In the other kind, the frames are wider than the comb, and when in position are close together, and of themselves form two sides of a box.

When in use, these frames are surrounded by a second box, without a bottom, which, with them, rests on a bottom board. Each of these' kinds is represented by various forms, sizes, etc., where the details are varied to suit the apiarist's notion. Yet, I believe that all hives in present use, worthy of recommen- dation, fall within one or the other of the above named types. EARLY FRAME'HIVES. In 1843, Mr. Agustus Munn, of England, invented a mov- able comb hive (Fig. 34), which I need hardly say was not the Fig. The Munn Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cook, Albert John, 1842- [from old catalog].
