Long-Ideal Hives are discust in the Australian Bee- Bulletin. Evidently they are the same as the long-idea hives on this side the globe. In this country they were named long- idea hives because the long idea was involved in their con- struction. In Australia the letter " 1" was added to the name either through a mistake, or else because they were consid- ered the ideal hive, and long as well. Accuracy, especially for beginners, is the theme of J. E. Crane in the Bee-Keepers' Review. If you have hives made at mills near by, make out a bill of pieces, and make an agree- ment that every piece shall be of well-seasoned lumber with- out the variation of ig inch, or better still, 1 ^16.

Foun- dation in the center of the frame, and hives accurately leveled so the combs will be in the center of frame when finisht. Sec- tons, cartons, and packing-cases, especially if made by difEer- ent firms, must be exact, otherwise sections may not go into cartons, or else cartons may not go into shipping-cases.
