BS Commercial hive: A variation with the same cross-sectional dimensions as a BS National hive (18 in x 18 in, 460 mm x 460 mm), but deeper brood box (10 + 1 ⁄ 2 in or 270 mm) and supers intended for more prolific bees. The internal structure of the boxes is also simpler, resulting in wider frames (16 in or 410 mm) with shorter handles or lugs.
The Fable of The Bees: or, Private Vices, Publick Benefits (1714) is a book by the Anglo-Dutch social philosopher Bernard Mandeville.It consists of the satirical poem The Grumbling Hive: or, Knaves turn'd Honest, which was first published anonymously in 1705; a prose discussion of the poem, called "Remarks"; and an essay, An Enquiry into the Origin of Moral Virtue.
A top-bar hive has bars from which the honey bees attach and hang wax comb, an array of hexagonal (six sided) cells. A beekeeper can make top bars from any plain wood. The top bars are usually 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 to 1 + 3 ⁄ 8 in (32 to 35 mm) wide, depending on local conditions and the type of bee to be housed. Combs can be handled individually.

In beekeeping, a Langstroth hive is any vertically modular beehive that has the key features of vertically hung frames, a bottom board with entrance for the bees, boxes containing frames for brood and honey (the lowest box for the queen to lay eggs, and boxes above where honey may be stored) and an inner cover and top cap to provide weather protection.

In 1848 Dzierzon introduced grooves into the hive's side walls, replacing the strips of wood for moving top bars. The grooves were 8 × 8 mm – the exact average between 1 ⁄ 4 and 3 ⁄ 8 inch (6.4 and 9.5 mm), which is the range called the "bee space." Such designs quickly gained popularity in Europe and North America.
The Beehive is the original terminal building at Gatwick Airport, England.Opened in 1936, it became obsolete in the 1950s as the airport expanded. [1] In 2008, it was converted into serviced offices, operated by Orega, having served as the headquarters of franchised airline GB Airways for some years before that.
Charles Dadant contributed articles on beekeeping to numerous bee journals, both American and European. In 1867, his first article appeared in the American Bee Journal. He defended the Langstroth patented beehive in the journal. Charles Dadant translated Langstroth's Langstroth on the Hive and the Honey-Bee. A Bee Keeper's Manual.
