With this is incorporated the "New Zealand bee manual" greatly enlarged, revised and mostly rewritten. Bees. 150 AUSTRALASIAN in the New Zealand and Australian Bee Journal m November, 1883:—The case or cylinder inside of which the framework supporting the comb baskets revolves, is made of l^m. timber, lined with stout tin. It is hexagonal in shape, 44m. m diameter at its widest parts; each of its six sides measuring 22in., making its circumference 132in.; height, The above are outside measurements. Wood is the most suitable material for the case, as it keeps the machine firm while at work.

The comb baskets, which are made of tinned wire cloth are 2in. wide by 19in. deep, secured at top and bottom by two bands of metal, like the bars of the framework. At one end of each.
