The Best Size of Frames and the Correct
Number to the Hive.

The hest SIG OF frames anu tuc OOIICCo
Number to the Hive.
1. Without taking into consideration the de-
STABILITY of conforming to standard size,
would an eight frame hive having frames of
the Langstroth length and 11A inches deep be
better than an ordinary eight frame hive9 2.
Il so, why? If not, why not? 8. Would it be
better than ten frame Langstroth hive? 4.
II so, why2 If not, why not2 5. 1t there We're
no standard, what would you consider the best
depth for frame of Langstroth length, and
how many Of them should be in hive if the
frames are all in one storys
The foregoing was recently answered
as follows in The American Bee Jour-
nal. E. France wrote: use the regular
Langstroth frame, eight in each story,
and three stories high for extracted
honey. The Ian gstroth frame is good
enough. Why bother or putter with odd
sizes?
Professor A. J. Cook said: /. We
wish to work for comb honey, and shall
low hives are best. 2. I prefer the reg
ular eight frame hive 8. I doubt if
one uses hanging frame if there is
any better hive than Langstroth eight
frame regular standard size.
G. En-. Dibbern replied: 1. Decidedly
no. 2. For extracted honey there would
be little objection, but for comb honey
the bees have too far to travel. 3. 1
think not y 4. Because Langstroth is
standard 8. should prefer ten frames
not over seven inches deep.
Mrs. Jennie Atohley. Texas, answer
ed: 1. Too much comb and weight in a
frame that size for me. do not think
it would be as good. 2. Too deep for
easy manipulation. If were going to
change the Langstroth frame at all in
DEPTH I would make it shallower rather
than deeper 8 and 4. No. for reasons
stated above. S. About seven inches
deep, ten frames to a hive, and with
my experience would have hive only
one story for either comb or extracted
honey.
Dadant & Son write: We would use
Ten frames, say IL inches deep and Of
Langstroth length. Our reasons are that
the queen always lays eggs in circle.
and she should be able to lay as large
an amount as possible without having
to hunt. For this reason shallower
frame is Objectionable. Another point
in favor of the deeper frame is in the
need of honey over tho brood nest in
extreme cold weather, as the bees often
starve when the honey supply fails
above them. A square frame would be
better than any other if it were not that
it leaves too little room above for sur
plus cases, which compels tiering up
too high.

Ne Wonder People are Alarmed About
This Matter.

People are always seeking clues, and
the one which leads straight to the OBJ

The world is filled with complaints and
weaknesses, which, when neglected lead
to the most dangerous diseases. These
weaknesses are constantly found among
those who think themselves fairly well.
Such people are careless, and this is just
the reason SO many persons break down
and become mental and physical wrecks,
with shattered nerves and broken
health. Your curiosity will be aroused
by reading the following letter from Mr.
Joseph B. Pierce, of NorJhfield, Mass.
