The Hive, F. G. Smith
The Hive, F. G. Smith
Bulletins - 3000 - 3999
The hive is the first and most important thing a person needs for keeping bees, and the choice of a hive and its accessories needs careful consideration. The object of this book is to provide both guidance to the beginner and full information for the established apiarist on hives and their various parts.

THE publication of this article runs counter to my own principles to some extent as I have long maintained that most beekeepers will find it cheaper in the long run to purchase factory-made hives and frames.
I realise, however, that many apiarists possess both the skill and equipment to make hive-bodies, and that some at least can occupy slack periods profitably in this manner.

Bees In Box Hives, A Kessell
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 3
The keeping of bees in other than properly appointed hives with standard frames is illegal in Western Australia as such hives make it almost impossible to inspect the swarms in order to check for disease. Nevertheless, beekeepers occasionally encounter swarms which have established themselves or have been established in fruit cases or other types of boxes or containers.
