THE OLMSTEAD HIVE 

 AND SYSTEM. 



If every r. ader 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, I believe they would 

 not allow this season to pass without at least giv- 

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

 able to examii'e one of the central combs without 

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

 tell tale of all the conditionsin thehive. As Iof¥er 

 the hive it has. aside fiom the valuable features 

 as describpd 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 wntering- The cover 

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

 combs, are th-^ee, 5<-inch air spaces, two J^-inch 

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

 NOW use the VanDeusen clasp, yet one can pre- 

 pare it for moving, with an upper story, if desired, 

 over the frames, and 50 square inches of screen at 

 the bottom, besides a '/a-inch crack beeween the 

 super and the hive, in onk minute, without 

 nails, lath or hammer 



The frames are Langstroth size, plain, yet at 

 once rigid or loose, as described. 



I am offering the hive complete, as describe' 

 here and elsewhere in the Review, at $2.00 each, 

 during April and May.
