His objection to the above, is the fact that the various combs are not sure to be so built as to be interchangeable. Yet that such apiarists as those above named prefer these Huber hives, after long use of the other style, is certainly not without significance. OBSERVATORY HIVE- To study bees while they are at work, requires a hive so constructed that we can look in upon all the bees of the hive Fig. Observatory Him.—Original. at pleasure. For this purpose I have used a small L/angstroth hive (Fig. 102) containing one frame. Glass is used each side of the frame, and this is shaded by doors hung on hinges. We are able to look at the bees or make all dark inside at pleasure. To prevent the hive from becoming too crowded, we must every twenty-three or twenty-four days shake the bees from the.
