I found - this document - about the AZ hive on the SBA website. It's filed under Learn / Bee Basics / AZ Hive.

Thanks for that very informative.

Funnily enough I found a video yesterday from of course the States claiming this concept as a brand new idea for Langstroths. Just goes to show in beekeeping there is pretty much nothing new.

I think I saw that video, PH.
There were lots of hives dating from the 19th century with doors.
Here is a link to the Prokopovich hive. Click on 'The world's first frame hive'. (Amazingly, the writer of the article does not seem to understand that it's not moveable frames that's attributed to Langstroth, but understanding and defining the bee space.)
Below is an image I copied from my Eva Crane book (the book was a present) of various hives with doors, and two pictures I copied from Encyclopedie Universelle: the Propokovich hive and Munn's hive with moveable frames (except they got propolised to the bottom of the hive - so not so moveable).
(I'm trying to get to grips with the history of hive design for module 8!)

Makes me think of the filing cabinet by my desk at work - but perhaps a bit more interesting.
He up ended the bottom slider of frames. Why?
