 Again, a big THANKS to the people at [http://www.beemaster.com/ Beemaster's International Beekeeping Forum]. A great deal of the more difficult answers were gathered from this forum, and the kind, helpful people there have reviewed this material (though I will fiercely claim all errors as my own). - Jim Thomas, 30 September, 2006.

-Probably the most important innovation in modern beekeeping, and indeed, it is the innovation that ''defines'' modern beekeeping, was the movable frame hive. Prior to its invention, bees were housed in ''skeps'' (conical straw baskets), which did not allow inspection of the colony. Furthermore, it was not possible to extract honey from a skep without  destroying the colony.

 <!-- 4. List the duties of the drone, the worker, and the queen bees. -->
-;Drones: Drones are male bees, and their only function is to mate with the queen. A healthy hive will have a few thousand drones (out of a population of 40,000 to 80,000 bees). Drones do no work in the hive and will beg food from the worker bees. If none supply him with food, he will eventually feed himself. The phrase "busy as a bee" certainly does not pertain to the drone!  Once mature, drones leave the hive and congregate together, waiting for a queen with which to mate. Ten or more drones will mate with a virgin queen on her maiden flight. "Successful" drones die a short time later. The worker bees do not allow the drones to overwinter in the hive, as they are a tremendous drain on resources and serve no function during the winter when the queen lays no eggs. They are sometimes ejected from the hive when food is scarce. Drones are hatched from unfertilized eggs, so the lack of any drones in the hive will automatically result in the production of drones when the next brood is hatched.

 ==6. What is meant by the following terms:== <!--T:21-->
-;a. Movable-frame hive: Modern beehives consist of several 4-sided boxes (no tops or bottoms) stacked on top of each other.  Frames are hung inside these boxes, and bees build combs on the frames.  Because of "bee space" (see below), the bees build only one comb on each frame.  This allows the frames to be removed from the hive without destroying the comb.
+===a. Movable-frame hive===
-;b. Crossed comb: Sometimes bees do not behave the way the beekeeper wants them to.  Instead of confining a comb to a single frame, bees sometimes build a single comb on more than one frame.  The comb "crosses" a frame boundary.  When crossed comb is built, the frames cannot be removed without destroying the comb.

-;c. Bee space: A gap in a beehive about 5/16 inch (8 mm) wide.  Langstroth hives make use of the discovery of bee space.  European honeybees propolize spaces less than 1/4 inch (6.5 mm), gluing wooden parts together and fill spaces larger than about 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) with wax comb.  But they hold spaces between 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch open for traffic channels for the bees. Langstroth's cleverly designed hive makes use of this bee space so that frames are neither glued together nor jammed up with burr comb.  This makes it possible to remove frames from the hive without damaging the hive or killing the bees.
+===b. Crossed comb===
-;d. Swarming:  Swarming is the natural means of reproduction of honeybee colonies (considering the colony as the organism rather than individual bees which cannot survive alone). In the process two or more colonies are created in place of the original single colony. It is considered good practice in beekeeping to reduce swarming as much as possible by several techniques, as allowing this form of reproduction often results in the loss of the more vigorous division, and the remaining colony being so depleted that it is unproductive for the season.
