Commento su Ohalot 9:11
הָיְתָה מֻטָּה עַל צִדָּהּ בָּאֲוִיר וְכַזַּיִת מִן הַמֵּת נָתוּן תַּחְתֶּיהָ אוֹ עַל גַּבָּהּ, כֹּל שֶׁהוּא כְנֶגֶד הַזַּיִת, תַּחְתֶּיהָ וְגַבָּהּ, טָמֵא. וְכֹל שֶׁאֵינוֹ כְנֶגֶד הַזַּיִת, תּוֹכָהּ, טָהוֹר. בְּתוֹכָהּ, הַכֹּל טָמֵא:
Se era sdraiato su un lato all'aria aperta e un [pezzo delle dimensioni di] un'oliva di un cadavere veniva posto sotto o sopra di esso, tutto ciò che è opposto al [pezzo delle dimensioni di un'] oliva sotto e sopra la parte superiore è impura. Tutto ciò che non è opposto al [pezzo delle dimensioni di un'] oliva, al suo interno è puro. Se fosse dentro [il cestino] tutto è impuro.
Bartenura on Mishnah Oholot
באויר – in the courtyard or in the garden, where there isn’t a tent there. And its law is like of the hive that is in the midst of the doorway and its mouth is outside, as it is taught in the Mishnah at the beginning of the chapter (see Mishnah 1). And similarly, also if it is above the ground by a handbreadth, like it is above the ground a handbreadth of here at the beginning of the chapter (see Mishnah 2). But that of here, it doesn’t belong to mention a house, for we are dealing with a case where one is standing underneath the airspace.

English Explanation of Mishnah Oholot
If it was lying on its side in the open air: In this scenario, our beloved hive is outside of the house, so the contents of the house need not worry about being defiled.

English Explanation of Mishnah Oholot
If an olive-sized [portion] of a corpse was placed below it or above it, everything directly below or above the olive-sized [portion] becomes unclean; but everything that is not directly below or above, and what is within [the hive] remains clean. The rules here are exactly the same as in 1-4. If the impurity is above or below the hive, it goes down to the depths and up to the heavens, but it doesn't spread to the side because it is not found in any sort of ohel. See mishnah one.

English Explanation of Mishnah Oholot
[If the uncleanness is] within [the hive] everything becomes unclean. But if the impurity is inside the hive, it spreads the impurity around inside, but it doesn't act as an ohel to prevent it from spreading above and below. Thus everything inside, above and below the entire hive will be impure.
