THE OLMSTEAD HIVE 

 AND SYSTEM. 



If every reader 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 examine one of the central combs without 

 disturbing the bees to any extent. It is usually a 

 tell tale of all the conditionsin thehive. As loffer 

 the hive it has, aside from the valuable features 

 as described in the Review, many others that I 

 believe will be 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 telescopic style. Over the sections, or 

 combs, are three, Ji-inch air spaces, two -ys-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 Vs-inch crack beeween the 

 super and the hive, in one minute, without 

 nails, lath or hammer. 



The frames are Langstroth size, plain, yet at 

 once rigid or loase, as described. 



I am offering the hive complete, as describe 1 

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

 during April and May.
