STORIFYING.

CHAPTER XII. 

 STORIFYING. 



STORIFYING means the piling of hives or boxes 

 upon each other, as shown in the above plate, 

 and preserving a free communication between 

 them ; a method which enables the apiarian to 

 take wax and honey without destroying the lives 

 of the bees. 



Attempts have been made to accomplish this 

 object in different ways. THORLEY placed empty 

 hives or boxes over full ones, WILDMAN and KEYS 

 placed full boxes over empty ones, WHITE and 

 MADAME VICAT placed them collaterally.
