Among the strangest beehives in the world are the painted wooden figures found in a small village in Silesia. The oldest is said to dato back to tho early years of the seventeenth century, when the property on which they stand belonged to a monastery. Tho latest were carved more than 100 years ago. The bees go in and out through a hole in the head, nnd there is a detachable board in the front of each figure to permit the removal of honey tho bees collect.
