If you are ever annoved by the scraping and breaking of combs; 

 killing bees when setting' a frame to one side, or hanging it in 

 the hive; sagging at the bottom and getting waxed fast; shak- 

 ing about when moving a hive; in short, it you dislike to pry 

 and wrench your frames, break combs, and kill bees while 

 handling them, you will be pleased with this hive.
