152 THE BEE-KEEPER’S MANUAL. 
portentous heading to a section in Von Berlepsch— 
Das hundertvierundvierzigbeutige Bienenhaus ; which 
means, literally interpreted, ‘‘The Hundred-and-forty- 
four-hiving Bee-house.” The said house is arranged 
crosswise like the sails of a windmill, with hives eighteen 
in a row upon each side of the four arms. 
The annexed illustration exhibits an ornamental 
bee-house, referred to in the following section in an 
extract from Mr. Hibberd’s ‘ Rustic Adornments.”
