[If the hive] is one handbreadth above the ground, [and] there is tumah below it or inside the house, whatever is below [the hive] or inside the house becomes tamei, but whatever is inside or above [the hive] remains tahor. [If the tumah] is inside [the hive], only that which is inside it becomes tamei. [If the tumah] is above [the hive], [utensils] directly above it up to the sky become tamei.
