MONEY IN BEES IN AUSTRALASIA 



Hives are not all of tlie same size, but thej^ mostly embody 

 tliis principle: they are all composed of hive body (Figs. 

 14, 15) bottom-board and lid or cover, with frames to 

 hang or stand inside. 



In Australasia there are Imt two kinds of hive in 

 general nse. One is called the Langstroth (Fig. 15) 



Fig. 14. Bolton or Hpddon Hive, 



named after its inventor the Rev. L. L. Langstroth; the 

 other is known as the lieddon (Fig. 14) or "Bolton" 

 hive. Both these patterns emanated from the United 

 States, l)nt the "Heddon" is also known as the "Bolton" 

 hive,^ (so named after an apiarist in the western district 

 of Victoria, who moditied and operates this hive in a very 

 large way. Mr. Bolton disclaims the use of his name in 

 this connection, but to Australasians continued use has 

 made the name "Bolton" synonymous with "Heddon").
