On peut diviser en deux groupes ou systèmes, tous les modèles de ruche qui existent : le système des ruches à rayons fixes, celui des ruches à cadres mobiles. Le Fixisme. - Ce fut longtemps le seul système connu : parmi les apiculteurs sérieux et instruits, il n'a plus guère de partisans aujourd'hui. Nous l'avons pratiqué ou plutôt étudié sur place, dans la forêt équatoriale : les abeilles à l'état sauvage n'en connaissent pas d'autre! Nous en gardons un souvenir plutôt cuisant... (François, F. "Les abeilles et l'apiculture moderne sous tous les climats, méthodes rationnelles, pratiques et faciles adaptées à tous les systèmes de ruches et à toutes les régions". Paris, M. Mendel, 1937, p. 32.) 2, record 1, French, - fixisme
