The Langstroth hives consist of a series of movable frames for comb, so arranged that 

 any one of them may be separately removed without disturbing the others. 



Fig. 1 shows an extra story, as used on the Langstroth hives, with one of the seven

 eighteen boxes, with the wedge to tighten or loosen the boxes as desired for manipulation. 

 The Langstroth hives, and those represented in the following cuts, manufactured by A. H. 

 Newman, of Chicago, 111., have long been in use, and are quite popular among apiarists. 



NORTH STAB HIVE. 



WORRALL 8 CENTENNIAL HIVE. 



The North Star Hive is similar to the Improved Langstroth, as will be seen by the 

 accompanying cut. Worrall s Centennial is an observatory hive with four glass sides and an 

 iron frame. The Circular Hive, invented and manufactured by W. S. Blaisdell, of Randolph, 

 , Yt., has an adaptation of movable comb frames to the circular form of the brood chamber. 

 Fig. 1 represents the front view of the hive, the opposite side being precisely the same. The 



two entrances, with the use of a suitable division board, ad

 the interior of the hive with the walls removed. Some of 

 the exterior walls are made in sections, as may be desired, 

 so that different parts will turn on hinges, thus permitting 



access to the in

 their removal.
