1851 Great Exhibition: Official Catalogue: Class IX.: Robert Golding
45. GOLDING, ROBERT, Hunton, Maidstone — Manufacturer.
"Improved Grecian" beehive: constructed with bars or slips of wood, to which the combs are suspended, so as to allow of their being extracted and returned uninjured. Adapted either for making observations, or for taking the honey without destroying the bees. A portion of the hive, consisting of three bars, is removed, and a similar piece, with combs attached, from another hive, substituted to show the arrangement of the comb and mode of action.
"Improved Huber's leaf-hive," which opens in the manner of a book, and admits of particular examination, for the purpose of observing the proceedings of the bees.
