what its name indicates combination of all
those principles necessary to the successful
management of Bees. Many persons have
been obliged TO abandon the business on ac-

gentlemen, lady and clcrgymen having per
manent residence, will procure 1t as sCou as
they learn its cNcellencics. We would say to
those who never kept bees, that with this Hive
they may be managed with perfect ilnpunitv.
as all parts of the case may be opened and the
operation of the bees Witnessed witt out COM
ing in contact with them. The advantages il

size) to the actual wants of colony of bees
q, all seasons, let it be a large or small one.
ID, The facilities it affords for obtaining
surplus honey or removing auy portions of the

granery, attic, or even dining room if YOU
please, where your honey will not slip off
without your personal observation.
9th. 1t is acknowledged to afford the bees
better protection against moths and robbers
than any other hive yet known, as the small
Aperture at which the bees enter is the only
means Of access for the miller. and this being
three inches over the bottom the bees are not
so liable TO leave it during evening as il il was
at the bottom of the hive.
9th. 1t affords more convenient and ef.
fectual means of destroying moths after thev
gel into the hive than any other, as there is u
perfect moth trap to catch them.
9TH. 1t is also acknowledged by all who
have fed bees in this way to be the most con-
venient hive for that purpose known, and the
only one that bees can be fed with any degree
of safety against robbers.
sth, 1t is SO well arranged for wnterinc
bees successfully MS it is well ventilated, and
the boxes containing the bees being encl sed
in a case, keeps them in al even temperature
during winter and they consume much less
honey than in any other hive.
