WOODBURY HIVES. 



Unueu the above heading at page 40, No. 303. of \hh Jonr- 

 ual is a description of an "improvement" in the Wouflbiry 

 hive, signed " C. F. George." 



Any suggestions or improvements having for their object the 

 facilitating the removal and interchange of bar frames in hives 

 must, doubtless, he acceptable to all practical ajiiariaua. Sim- 

 plicity, however, should be the guidiug rule in all improvement^, 

 whether intended to ap}.iy to things actually in existence or to 

 those to be newly constructed. Mr. George states in his com- 

 munication, '-I have tried it, and it quite answered my expec- 

 tation." "Without in the least wishing to prejudice him, or in 

 any way to detract from the ingenuity of his pljtn, I cannot but 

 think that it is rather complicated. I would venture to inquire 

 whether he has ever heard of the elongated top bar frames aa 

 first, I believe, introduced to public notice by " Sibebt-in-ths- 

 WoLD," in The Jouf.x.-s.l of Horticulture, No. 262, page 265. 

 where it is fully described? It will be manifest from a perusal
