gentlemen, lady and clergynen having per-
manent residence. will procure 1t as soon as
they learn its cxcelencics. We would say 10
those who never kept bees, that with this Hive
they may be managed with perfect impunity,
as all parts of the case may bcopencd and the
operation of the bees witnessed without COM
Ing in contact with them. The advantages it
possesses over others are as follows;
lst. It's perfect adaptation lin regard TO
sizc) 10 the actual wants Of a colony of bees
a, all seasons, let i, he large or small one.
%. Tho facilities it affords for obtaining @
surplus honey or removing auy portions Of the
old combs, are superior to any other, as the
bees may lie made to leave either box when
desired before removing it from the hive, with
out disturbing or injuring them in the least
Sd. 1t affords the best opportunity for OBJ
serving tho operations Of the bees, the amount
of honey in store and the strength Of the col
ony at all times without exposure TO the bees.
4h. The construction of the hive with Tho
alighiing board is such that it will always save
the expense of q building on purpose for bees
as il may he put in any out building, garrett
graincry, attic, or even dining room if you
please, where your honey will not slip off
without your personal observation.
9TH 1t is acknowledged 10 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 if it was
at the bottom of the hive.
9th 1t affords more convenient and ef-
fectual means of destroying moths after they
gel into the hive than any other, as there is "a
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-
venicnt 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 winterine
bees successfully MS it is well ventilated, and
the boxes containing the bees being encl scd
in a case, keeps them in an even temperature
during winter and they consume much less
honey than in any other hive.
9th. The bee feeder by this Improvement
can prolong the season by feeding your bees
keeps them making honey with profit oil 100
per cent.
To amateurs, bee keepers and all lovers Of
honey, there is no investment which offers such
inducements and combines many advan-
tages as this. One of these hives with bees
in il at work has been and now is on exhibition
at the Crystal Palace and has attracted the at
tention and called forth the admiration of tens
of thousands, and is acknowledged TO be the
most simple. cheap and perfect arrangement
OF the kind ever invented.
This hive has been thoroughly tried and
tested by the undersigned individuals from two
to five years. and this is the first introduction
OF this patent in this Stale.
