Bxhibition Hives. 



I shall probably make no more exhibitions of 

 bees and honey at fairs I have too many other 

 irons in ihe fire. I have about a dozen nucleus 

 exhibition hives that I would sell for 50 cents 

 each. They are nicely made, with glass in one 

 side and w'ire cloth on the other. Six of them 

 are painted a bright vermillion and the others a 

 bright blvie. They are of the right size for tak- 

 ing one I^angstroth frame. They cost $1.00 each 

 to make them. 



I also have about 100 of the old-style Heddon 

 super, of the right size to use on an 8-frame, 

 dovetailed hive. This is the best super there is 

 if no seperators are used. They cost 20 cents 

 each to make them when lumber was cheap. 

 They are w^ell painted and just as good as new, 

 but I would sell them at 15 cents each.
