Note 3 — II. MODERN BEE HIVES.
Reading edition
This is the hive referred to by the Bee-Master of the Times, when he says:—"The second kind of hive I alluded to is made of straw, and may be purchased at Neighbour's, in Holborn. * * * * It is so well made that it will last very long. I have had one in constant use during ten years, and it is still as good us when it was bought."
