The Quest for the Perfect Hive, after Langstroth
a perfect hive
will not kill a bee
a perfect hive
allows for the honey's removal
in the most convenient, beautiful
& saleable forms
a perfect hive
succeeds when we study
the bees' habits
& – as far as
is practicable – comply
a perfect hive
should not reward
the careless
or the ignorant
there is no such thing
as a perfect hive
