(\(f\)) Portico roof, \(261^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!6^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!\mathbf{j}^{\prime\prime}\); bovel from \(\mathbf{j}^{\prime\prime}\) thick on front edge, back \(\delta^{\prime\prime}\), to full thickness, and round the front edge from the upper side. (g) Covers of passage way into hive, and to lower rear ventilator, two pieces, \(141^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!51^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!1^{\prime\prime}\); bore three holes in each of these, as directed for the holes in (\(l\)), their centres being in a line raged \(2^{\prime\prime}\) from one edge, one being in the centre of the length of the pieces, the others being raged \(41^{\prime\prime}\) each side from this. (a) Front posts, two pieces: (i) rear posts, two pieces, \(10^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!51^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!3^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!1 ^{\prime\prime}\!\); on one side of each, \(\mathbf{j}^{\prime\prime}\) from one end, and \(\mathbf{j}^{\prime\prime}\) wide, rabdet out \(\mathbf{j}^{\prime\prime}\) deep, to receive (\(arphi\)). Notch out from one upper corner of each post, opposite the rabdeted end, \(11^{\prime\prime}\) from the width, and \(\mathbf{j}^{\prime\prime}\) from the height of each post, to receive the upper frame of the internal hive, and cut the groove formed on the sides of the posts, near their bases, across the notehed edge of each, \(\mathbf{j}^{\prime\prime}_{6}\) deep, to receive the lower side rash rails.

The four strips (\(j\)) and (\(k\)), make, when nailed together into the top notehes made in the posts, a frame for the top of the hive, and in which the movable-comb frames hang. Lower or sash rails, two pieces, \(19^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!1^{\prime\prime}\) wide \( imes\)\(1^{\prime\prime}\) thick, cut \(\mathbf{j}^{\prime\prime}_{6}\) from the width at each end, on one side, and for a length of \(\mathbf{j}^{\prime\prime}_{6}\). Collateral side honey-boards, for surplus honey-glasses, two pieces, \(291^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!34^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!1^{\prime\prime}\); bore seven holes in each, in centre of width, one being in the centre of the length of each, and the rest apaced at intervals of \(41^{\prime\prime}\) on each side. Cleats or supports are to be nailed on the underneath sides of these boards at convenient intervals. (\(l\)) Surplus honey-board, \(\mathbf{i}^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!21\!1^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!18^{\prime\prime}\), the grain of the wood to run crosswise of the board, which is to have clamps, tongued and grooved against the edge of the grain; 9 holes are to be bored for surplus honey-boxes; they are first bored \(
rac{1}{16}^{\prime\prime}\) deep with \(13^{\prime\prime}\) centre-bit, and then through with \(14^{\prime\prime}\) bit; these holes are arranged in 3 rows, one in the centre, and the others at 3" from the edges of the board, the end holes of each row being \(3^{\prime\prime}\) from the ends of the board; \(64^{\prime\prime}\) from each end of the board, ect slots through, \(14^{\prime\prime}\) long \( imes\!1^{\prime\prime}\) wide; make a slight rabbet all around the slots, to receive wire-gauze ventilators. (m) Front and rear of ease, middle " part, two pieces, \(244^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!44^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!3^{\prime\prime}\); rabbet out from opposite corners of each edge, \(
rac{1}{16}^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!
rac{1}{16}^{\prime\prime}\). (n) Sides of ease, middle part, two pieces; for shape of these, see Fig. 20, p. 48; 311" from front to rear, measured square across, or \(321\!\!1^{\prime\prime}\) measured on the angle, \( imes\!44^{\prime\prime}\) wide measured vertically, or \(44^{\prime\prime}\) measured square across; rabbet out from opposite corner of each edge, \(
rac{1}{16}^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!4^{\prime}\! imes\!4^{\prime\prime}\!\). (o) Front and rear of ease, upper part: front, \(244^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!81^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!4^{\prime\prime}\); rabbet one edge, \(

rac{1}{16}^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!
rac{1}{16}^{\prime\prime}\); for shape, see Fig. 20, p. 68. (q) Top of upper part of ease, \(33\!\! imes\!43^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!43^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!43^{ \prime\prime}\! imes\!43^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!43^{\prime\prime}\), tongued and grooved together, and rain-grooved from front to rear (see Fig. 33, p. 96); (n) and (p), sides of ease, are halved out at the ends, \(\mathbf{i}^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!
rac{1}{16}^{\prime\prime}\), to receive the front and rear of the ease (m) and (o). (2) Triangular checks to hold the case when elevated, \(14^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!14^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!3^{\prime\prime}\! imes \!4^{\prime\prime}\), two pieces. (3) Guides on outside of ease (see Fig. 19, p. 48), four pieces, \(11^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!2^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!3^{\prime\prime}\!\). -- Cover to upper ventilator, \(351^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!1^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!4^{\prime\prime}\); this ventilator is made by boring -- holes, \(\mathbf{i}^{\prime\prime}\) in diameter, in the rear of upper part of ease, as near to (g) as possible. -- Cover to lower back ventilator, \(15^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!1^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!4^{\prime\prime}\). -- Buttons for holding ventilating covers; their construction and form are shown in Fig. 16, p. 44, and also opposite p. 13; four pieces. Nail all around the spaces left for glass, strips \(\mathbf{i}^{\prime\prime}\! imes\!4^{\prime\prime}\), within \(
