Evening Republican, Volume 18, Number 107, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 May 1914 — Remarkable Bee Hive. [ARTICLE]

Remarkable Bee Hive.

A beehive of extraordinary dimensions has been removed from the roof of Castlehill, an Ayrshire (Scotland) eighteenth century mansion. The hive has been known to have been on the roof for 50 years. Its accumulated weight was endangering the structure. Myriads of bees were killed to enable the workmen to remove the slates. The honey store was in perfect preservation, and about half a ton was removed.
