this Oklahoma farmer bought .

draft would have cost him about

THE DEPTH OF FRAMES
For comb-Honey the Divisible Brood
Chamber Hive Is Probably
the Best.

While all are agreed as to the de-
STABILITY Of keeping bees on movable
frames, there seems to be great d.
versity of opinion regarding style and
depth of same.
Movable frame hives may be divided
into two classes as far as general
principles go. One is known as the
Invisible brood chamber, and tho other
as the non-divisible, or single cham
Der hive. AS all hives and fixtures
about the apiary should be Of one
style and size, the beginner ought to
weigh we'll this hive problem before
marrying himself to any particular
one. He will find that changing from
one to another is an expensive pro-
ceeding. The style or depth best for
any certain locality can be ascer-
tanned only by being on the spot and
studying conditions.
Whether comb or extracted honey
is to be produced also has great deal
to do with it. If extracted honey is to
be produced. frame as deep, or deeper
than the IL" will most probably be
best. If honeycomb is the object.
the Invisible brood-chamber hive would
probably suit better. Consider these
points we'll before proceeding.-Mid-
