Hives have been constructed of different materials, as straw, â osiers, rushes, sedges, wood, and earthenware; and of still more various forms, some being bell-shaped or conical, some cylindrical, â¢some square in their section, some with rectangular and some with oblique tops, being internally divided by eomb-frames fixed or movable, by shelves, and other expedients. Their forms of structure depend in some degree upon the object â of the proprietors. When apiculture is prosecuted on a large â scale for the produce of honey and wax, as articles of trade, the foreign cultivators prefer hives of the most simple forms and most easy construction, and those from which the products can be obtained with most facility. The material preferred is, generally, straw or rushes. The process of making such a hive is indicated in fig. Fig. 57.âProcess of making a straw Mve.
