    Thank you for trying dg. But your answer is not the one I was looking for. 50p in the poor box please.

    A Cottager doesn't look so different from that either.
    The CDB hive has parallel sides, so did the early WBC's - the joints were covered by cleats. I believe it was Taylors of Welwyn Garden City who introduced the sloped sides.
    An interesting feature of the CDB is that one can invert the second lift and it will telescope over the first, giving a very low hive to withstand winter storms.

    You were only docked 50p, one would suspect you had the wit to reflect on why
