those who never kept bees, that with this Hive
they may be managed with perfect impunty-
Ms all parts of the case may be opened and the
operation of the bees Witnessed will out com,
ing in contact with them. The advantages il
Possesses over others arc as follows:
l,t. Its perfect adaptation lin regard to
sizcl to the actual wants Of colony of bees
at all seasons. let il be large or small enc.
ID. The facilities it affords for obtaining
surplus honey or removing auy portions of the
old combs, are superior - any other, rs the
bees may hc pldc to leave other box when
desired bcfore removing it f'om the livc,wih-
out disturhino or iniuring them in the least.
81. Ii affords the best opportunity for OBJ
serving the operations of tho bees, the amount
of honey in store aud the strength Of the col
ony at all times without exposure to the bees
4,h. The construction Of the hive with The
alghling board is such that il will always save
the expense of II building on purpose for bees,
as il may be put in any out building, garrct
Eraincry, attic, or even dining room if YOU
please, where your honey will not slip off
without your personal observation.
9Th. Ii is acknowledged TO afford the bees
heller pr ltcction against moths and robbers
than any other hive yet known. Rs the small
appertuie 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
50 liable to leave il during evening as il il was
at the bottom of the hive.
9th. 1t affords more convenient and el-
fectual means of destroying moths after they
get into the hive than any other, as there is a
perfect moth trap to catch 'hem.
9TH. 1t is also acknowledged by all who
have fed bees in this way to he the most con-
renient hive for that purpose known, and the
only one that bees can he fed with any degree
of safety against robbers.
Sth. 1t is so well arranged for winterng
bees successfully ns it is well ventilated, and
the boxes containing the bees being encl scd
in case, keeps them in Az even temperature
during winter ard 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 OF 100
per cent.
Te amateurs, bee keepers and NIL lovers Of

inducements and combines so many ndvan-
sagcs a. this. One of these hives with bees
in il At work has been aud now is on exhibition
