48 BEE BOXES. 



charge lies on the whole apiary, and that 

 only for once. 



Cottagers, whom I Wifh to benefit, or 

 others, may club in the purchafe, by which 

 the coil: will be but (lightly felt. Or perhaps 

 country fhopkeepers would find it their inte- 

 reft to be furnifhed with fuits of plates to 

 let out. 



I have propofed a large window to a box, 

 as I found a fmall one of little ufe, and af- 

 fording but little entertainment. Thofe who 

 would choofe a more enlarged view of the 

 bees in boxes, may have large windows in 

 the three fides. 



Doors to the hives and boxes will be found 

 of great advantage on many occafions, par- 

 ticularly in palling the dividers under hives, 

 to prevent the egrefs of the bees if the door- 

 ways are flopped, and on various other oc- 

 eafions. 



Boxes of bees placed in the window of 

 a room much incommode the company 

 whenever the window is opened. The fide 

 of the room fuits better : a proper open- 

 ing to be made in the wall, and a fmall tin 

 trough adapted to pats through to the door- 

 way
