Instead of using a cap, some Apiar- ists removed the upper story, when full of honey, and placed a new story under the others. The bees then continued their constructions downwards. To separate the sections from one another, they used a wire that cut the combs. Butler, in his "Feminine Monarchy," 1634, showed hives composed of four sections, piled upon one another. Palteau, in 1750, advised bee-keepers to use a perforated ceiling at the top of each.
