THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



273 



See that little white spot near the center of 

 some of them? It is a small piece of paper 

 upon whichfis; printed with the^type writer 

 the name of the variety of bee. In the 

 sixth nuclei from the end appear some very 

 small white specks. (They show, quite 



by handsome curtains. Inside, the floor is 

 carpeted, while a couch and easy chairs 

 invite the tired bee man to come in, sit down 

 and rest. Mr. Hunt's extracted honey is 

 put up in a great variety of fancy packages, 

 andwhere it^is ^possible to use flowers, to

distinctly in the photograph but may not 

 come out very clearly in the cut.) They are 

 some very bright yellow bees. Those papers 

 put over some of the window lights are to 

 hide some windows bright with electric 

 light that show through from another part of 

 the building. 



Mr. Hunt's display is really palatial. It is 

 a sort of castle 8 feet wide by 32 feet long 

 having a central tower 16 feet high. Of 

 course this is a frame work of boards but it 

 is completely covered and concealed by 

 small cases of comb honey, panels of mold- 

 ed wax, sheets of foundation, beeswax but- 

 tons., etc., etc. The panels in the lower 

 part are of perforated zinc. Through the 

 lower part of the tower is a door way closed 



good effect he is lavish in their use. See 

 those fine white perpendicular and hori- 

 zontal lines in front of his exhibit? Can't 

 you guess what they represent? Well you 

 know honey is quite a sticky substance and 

 sometimes when a boy's hand comes in 

 contact with a package, the adhesion is so 

 great that Mr. Hunt never sees the package 

 again. These lines are to prevent such con- 

 tacts. Poultry netting will answer the 

 same purpose but looks bungling compared 

 fo fine wires which are scarcely visible un- 

 til the hand touches them. 



Mr. Hunt's exhibit extends as much fur- 

 ther down into the dark beyond, as it shows 

 in the picture. The part not shown is de- 

 voted mostly to a display of supplies.
