Root's 8-Frame, Dovetailed Hive 

 With the "L" Super. 



FOR THE 4x5x13-8 PLAIN SECTIONS. S-FRAME SIZE ONLY. 



DEVISED FOR THOSE WHO WANT 4x5 SECTIONS ON THE S-FRAME HIVE. 



So many of our customers who prefer the 8- 

 frame Dovetailed hive have wanted to use the 4 

 X 5 X i^a plain sections on these hives, that we 

 have devised this style of super o meet this de- 

 mand. We listed it for the first time in our cata- 

 logue last year. This form of super has heen 

 used successfully by I^ewis J. Whitney of Maple- 

 town, Utah. He has oroduced as lar^e crops of 

 fine 4x5 honey as one can find anj'where on the 

 market, and anyone des ring to raise 4x5 honey 

 on 8-frame hives can not do better than use this 

 super; but, if you want to use the 4x5 sections 

 on a regular 10-frame, Dovetailed hive, you can 

 order our regular Danz. super, such as used on 

 the Danz. hive, described on this page last month. 

 The price of the "I." super is the same as all of 

 our other regular 8-frame Dovetailed supers. 

 WHAT OTHERS SAY OF ROOT'S PLAIN 

 SECTIONS AND FENCES. 



The plain section is far ahead of the old bee- 

 way section, and I would not return to the plain 

 .separator for any money. Every customer to 

 whom I sell honey remarks, "How fine the hon- 

 ey in plain sections does look !" I have nothing 

 but praise for my honey wherever I have offered 

 it for sale this winter. 



Cuba, Kan.sas, Dec. 23. Wm. H. Eagerty. 



We secured four or five well-filled cases of 

 basswood honey in the new sections; and to say 

 that they were nice would be putting it lightly. 

 It was a real pleasure to open those crates of hon- 

 and note the diffe.ence between them and the 

 old-st3'le seclions in regard to freedom from pro- 

 polis, and consequent ease of cleaning.

I might say that I gave the no-bee-way sec- 

 tions, 4l{ x 4'4. a trial this season, and I am well 

 pleased with them. I used about 1,200 of them 

 along side of the open-end, or slotted sections, 

 4% X 4'4 x i?8 with plain separators. This winter 

 I am changing all of my supers to the no-bee- 

 way. I find that 1 can get half to one cent 

 MORK for llie no-bee-way in Harrowsmith, Out. 



Dec. 28th. C. E. Taylor. 



In regard to those fences I bought of you la.st 

 year for 100 hives, it is one of the best improve- 

 ments since I began the bee-business fifty years 

 ago. • I<ast year I had the best conjb honey I ever 

 ra sed. I think bees w.ill commence on sections 

 quicker, work the outside of the crates just as well 

 as the middle, and best of all, bees do not travel- 

 slain the combs. Make me enough for fifty more 

 hives, about 400.
