THE OLMSTEAD HIVE 

 AND SYSTEM. 



If every Trader of the Review knew, as well as 

 I know, what can be done with the new hive, and 

 what a pleasure it is to do it. T believe they would 

 not allow this season to pass v.ithout at least giv- 

 ing; it a fair trial. Think of what it means to be 

 able to e.xamine one of the central combs without 

 disturbing- the bees to any extent. It is usually a 

 tell tale of all the conditions in thehive. As loffer 

 the hive it has, aside fioni the valuable features 

 as describ?d in the Review, many others that I 

 believe willbe appreciated by all who have to move 

 bees. It has a plain solid bottom with a blizzard 

 proof entrance for out-door wintering The cover 

 is of the telescopi.: style. Over the sections, or 

 combs, are three, /^-inch air spaces, two -%-inch 

 boards, and a sheet of galvanized iron. I do not 

 NOW use the VanDeusen clasp, yet one can pre- 

 pare it for moving, vv.' h .an upper story, if desired, 

 over the frames, and SO square inches of screen at 

 the bottom, besi.ies a /4-inch crack beevveen the 

 super and the hive, in one minute, without 

 nails, lath or hammer 



The 'frames are Langstroth size, plain, yet at 

 once rigid or loose, as described. 



lam offering the hive complete, as describe!
