About this item

In 1859, Ruggles Torrey invented a beehive that he called the “Maine State Bee-Hive.” Josiah Gale, a farmer from Barre, Vermont, wanted to build one of Torrey’s hives and by sending Torrey three dollars for this license, Gale was given permission to build them “for his own use [and] in one location.”
