One Way of Bee-Keeping. 



The hive in the photograph is one of about a hundred and thirty similar 

 ones kept in the heart of a wood in Sussex. The bee-keeper is a very 

 successful honev-producer, working on the most modern systems. . 

 But, outwardly, his hives present a very bizarre appearance, every 

 kind of domestic .flotsam and jetsam being used as coverings. The - 

 hive shown has bed-ticking, old sacks, three or four newspapers, 

 linoleum, sheet-iron, &c., with several brickbats to keep all in place on 

 windy days. It is but fair, however, to record that the bees seem to. 

 thrive well under these peculiar conditions.
