UUTAPIARIES 



Fig. 54. Honey-house built so that it may be readily cut apart into sections 

 and removed. Where the out is to be made, rafters or studding are placed 

 within an inch of each other and holes bored so that the sections may

sary to move location a short distance from time to time. Tliese 

 are well built houses of lumber with each side, roof and floor, in 

 sections, to be easily taken down. They are made large enough 

 for the needs of the apiary the year round, and when weU put 

 up can be made bee-tight. Easily taken down, they can be 

 loaded on a wagon or truck and rapidly transported to a new 

 location. 



The Permanent House 



By far the larger percentage of apiary houses are of permanent 

 construction, carefully built, oftentimes with cement floor and 

 large enough to house all extra equipment. The most of them 

 are used in connection with a portable extracting outfit, though 

 not a few are equipped with a permanent one.
