SMALL HIVES (Experimental Furms Note) To contain the combs in beehives, the Langstroth frfme meusuring 17 6-8 inches wide by 9 1-8 inches deep, has for many years been the size employed by most beekeepers. Some years ugo it wus the fushion to use a small hive holding only cight of these frames. The eight-frame hive, however, does not provide rooin enough for the eggs thut can be laid by 4 prolific queen, and the ten-frame hive hus been found more sutisfuctory, especial- ly where Italian bees instead of black of comb honey is produced. A movement to use a still larger hive is now making progress. These larger hives usually cou- tuin either ten frames of Jumbo size, which is two inches deeper than the Lang: stroth, or twelve Langstroth frames, . the latter making » square hive. Colonies in euch large hives retain more stores fer winter, und this iv an advantage where the natural «stores ure wholesome for winter- ing. but a disadvantage where they ure un- wholesame, These large hives help t> ore: vent «warming to some extent, but they ure apt to be unhandy and cumbersome, and heavy to lift or move about.
