Height of Beehives.

In many apiaries the hives stand near
the ground upon piece of joist 3 or 4
inches wide, or upon bricks, one under
each corner. In others the hives stand a
foot high, and again hives may be seen
two or three feet high perched Oh posts.
AS far as the bees are concerned, it
does not matter whether hives IL high
or low, although, judging by tlo habits
of the bees, the higher the III the
better they would like it. But t.. =.
keeper is the one to be accommodate
the position of the hive. He will pla,
it at the height where it will be most
convenient for him.
1t is extraordinary that the hives in
the majority Of rIjaries are not placed
to give the hcn''" lcr the best advan-
tage, owing D.. TO the idea held
by some beck , SHAT it is goodies
sential-to have the bees near the
ground. AN Ohio Farmer correspond
emit says that the best arrangement for
bees is platform upon posts sunk in
the ground at frequent intervals.
If the platform have roof, it makes
it all tho better for the bees and the
beekeeper during the warm weather.
The roof should be portable and not be
put on before June, because bees want
ali the sun they can get up to that time.
