[Illustration: Bee-house to contain two hives.
Front view of bee-house, price £3 10_s._, _well painted_, constructed to
contain two hives. 3 ft. 6 in. high, 4 ft wide.]
The back view is given on the following page.
[Illustration: Back view of the preceding, showing the interior. The top
hive or cover for the glasses is balanced by a weight, so as to be raised
easily for the purpose of inspecting the bees at work in the super hives.]
I have already said, what I repeat, that I do not think one row of hives
above another in the same bee-shed at all expedient.
