This is from 1911:
> Beehives are usually made of yellow pine , merely because pine happens to be plentiful in America, and is there used for all common purposes as is deal in this country ; consequently pine is used, not because it is the best wood for hives , but because it happens to be cheap. America is the land of bees , honey, and bee keepers, and in that country there are numerous factories exclusively employed, year in, year out, in making beehives and apiarian supplies.—Beehives and Beekeepers' Appliances, by Paul Nooncree Hasluck ·
At one time, hives in California were made from redwood. It is light weight and pest resistant. It's also mostly gone by now.
