TEE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



221 



time. By a lucky accident, their system of 

 management and such hives were well 

 adapted to each other. But movable combs 

 were needed to enable us to learn the mys- 

 teries of the hive, having learned them, 

 frames are seldom needed; but the idea of 

 handling hives more and frames less, as the 

 matter is ooir understood in this country, 

 did not come to us from across the waters. 



One word more. Years ago, when Glean- 

 i)}(fs was in its infancy, or cliild-hood I 

 guess it was, Mr. Heddon advocated box 

 hives in its columns, and thereby called 

 down upon his head the condemnation of 

 nearly the whole Gleain'tigs family (of bee- 

 keepers). I know of one old bee-keeper 

 who has frequently said to me: "I have 

 never taken much stock in Mr. Heddon 

 since he advocated box hives." I don't 

 know as Mr. Heddon ever publicly described 

 the particular style of box hive that he had 

 in mind, but he has several times told me 

 about it and it was to have been a shallow 

 hive and managed twartly as Mr. Graven- 

 horst says that he manages his. If Mr. 

 Heddon neglected to describe his peculiar 

 liox hive and its method of management — 

 well, ho must take the consequences, 

 that's all. But it is sonu'tinies convenient to 

 be able to handle frnnies, and Mr. Heddon 

 has given us a hive in which the frames can 

 be handled as well as in any hive, while for 

 handling hives instead of frames his hive is 

 the ne pli>s ultra. 



If I am wrong in any of my conclusions I 

 hope to be corrected and will " own up like 

 a man."
