The Root Observatory Hive 



To meet the increasing demand foi' a moderate-priced Observa- 

 tory Hive, for use in schools and homes, we have decided to man- 

 ufacture the style illustrated herewith. This hive is identical with 

 our regular, with the exception of the body and super sides, which 

 are fitted with glass, together with wooden shutters for closing the 

 hive while not observing. This hive permits the keeping of a 

 regular colony of bees in a normal condition so that every phase 

 of beekeeping may be studied.
