Reflecting on these circumstances, M. Harasti, during his cultivation of bees, conceived that it would be possible to form a hive which should have all the advantages of th© best kind, while the simplicity and cheapness of its con- struction, might bring it into use among husbandmen. A good bee-hive ought to possess the following properties: First, it should be capable of enlargement or contraction, according to the number of the swarm. Secondly, it should admit of being opened without disturbing the bees, either for the purpose of cleaning it; of freeing it from insects; of increas- ing or dividing the swarm; or for the admission of a stock of provisions for the winter. Thirdly, it should be so constructed, that the produce may be remov- ed without injury to the bees. Fourthly, it should be internally clean, smooth, and free from flaws. All these properties unite in the hive here described. It is formed of four open square boxes, A, B, C, D, as represented by the following cut: These boxes are fastened to each other by several wooden but- tons, J, J, &c. which turn upon a rod 01' screw. The whole is cover- ed with a moveable roof, which projects over the boxes slanting frgm the centre a, that the rain- water may run off. It is necessa- ry to place astoneonthe topof the roof, to keep it on firm. Instead of buttons, the boxes may be combined by a rabbet fast- ened with wooden pegs; but in either case, the conjoined parts should be closed with cement. If the swarm is not very numerous, three, or even two, boxes will be su
