Having been frequently requested to explain the use of the
_bar-and-frame-hive_, in the management of bees, I have been induced to
print the following pamphlet, to point out the advantages this new hive
possesses over the common ones.
I have added extracts from various authorities to show the importance
of transporting bees for a change of pasturage, and thus prolonging the
honey harvest. Regarding the natural history of the bee, I have merely
stated a few of the leading facts connected with that interesting
subject, drawn from Wildman's Book on Bee-management.
_London, April, 1844._
