Dear fellow Bee-Lers, I have a question. I have been reading "Keeping BEES" by John Vivian, and in it he mentions a "W.B.C." hive used in England. What is a "W.B.C." hive, is it still in use, and how does it differ from the Langstroth hive?? I'm becoming interested in all kinds of bee lore, and I'd really appreciate any information. Thanks a lot!! Kevin Palm -- Kevin R.
