Kelsey's Alternating Bee Hive.
Patented MN or ISdR

livery family should be in possession of
~ these hives; the only hive ever constructed
wherein success is certain in cultivating bees,
and obtaining rich reward of honey for a little
trouble. Over 90 900 bee culturists have them
now in use, and every one that has adhered to
the directions which accompany the hive, never
have failed Of success; the hive can be placed
in small yards in towns and even be PLACED in
the windows Of houses and the bees can work
just as well as if they were in an open field,
the alternating principles Of these hives are
such that honey can be taken away without
disturbing the bees. The young swarm can be
taken away with their nursing bees and placed
in the centre Of new hives which prevents that
much dreaded trouble of swarmiDg in the old
way; swarms can be wintered on or lbs of
honey as well as 80 or 40 lbs Of honey in the old
way. The Bee-moth aud other insects are pre-
vented from disturbing the swarms, the exami-
nation of these hives at once will convince any
man of experience in the culture of bees, that
they are the very ones that have been needed
for years, as they work with the nature of the
bee.
J. s. NEGBY having purchased the right of
johnson county, is prepared to furnish ali who
shall want an article Of this kind A model Of
the hive can be seen at Swans Hotel.
