. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. THE BRITISH BEE JOURNAL. [May 1, 1878. floor-board, a crown-board in pieces (strips) as before described, an upper chamber to contain a super, with roof over, a super with a glass side to bold about 20 lbs. with adapting-board on its bottom, and the total cost was twenty- five shillings, all tbc outside being thoroughly painted. This hive was called the Cottage Woodbury. Improvement followed improve- ment, and next appeared a hive which con- tained precisely the principles lately advocated by the astute writer in the Journal of Horti- culture, 'B. & W.,' but it did not then find favour. It, like the Cottage Woodbury, was thoroughly described in the English Mechanic, where full directions were given for the manu- facture of both. In 1873 the British Bee Journal was started, and since then the strides that have been made in the improvement of all kinds of bee-gear need no recapitulation, and at the present day excellent bar-frame moveable comb hives containing the best principles can be obtained at a less price than is charged for sleeps when floor-board and roof are added. Of our share in the improvements effected we care to say but little ; but in answer to those who may think we have given them undue prominence in this Journal, we reply that it is our pleasure to make known to the world, to the best of our ability, the most improved methods of manu- facturing hives and bee furniture, and of the general management of apiaries. Our columns are open, and if our teaching appears faulty we shall only be too glad to publish others' opinions thereon. ABBOTT'S ECONOMIC HIVE-STAND. Economy being the order of the day, we have devised a method of forming a hive-stand which, we think, cannot be easily beaten on its merits. It is easy to make, is very inexpensive, cannot be blown over, will last many years, will suit any hive that is without legs, and when not in use can be taken to pieces and packed away in the smalles
