Again, " The whole interior of the hive is thus open to inspection at any moment, and a choice can be made of the combs containing the most honey, or the bee' owner enabled to trace the devastations of the honey ; p. 1*7. Still further, the hive should be so constructed as to allow of every part of the combs to be inspected at any moment, and capable of removal when requisite," p. 20. "We now give Mr. Langstroth's claim of movable frames : " Second.—The use of the movable frames, A. A., fig. 4, or their equivalents, substantially as described ; also their use in combina- tion with the shallow chamber, with or without my arrangement for spare honey receptacles !" Mr. Langstroth's frames, patented in 1852, are substantially the " oblong bar-frames" of Mr. Munn, described in 1844 ; and how his mode of using them compares with Mr. Munn's mode of using his triangular frames, described in April, 1851, as shown in the above quotations, the reader will be able to judge after consulting Mr. Langstroth's work on the Honey Bee, pp. 15, 148, 149, or ex- amining one of his hives.
