SECTION-HOLDERS FOR THE DOVETAILED HIVE. 



hive. They measure 9Jxl7f outside; top-bar, 19|. 

 They are I wide all around, and top-bar 2 thick; 

 ends and bottom, \. A comb-guide, JxJ, is inserted 

 in the top-bar, as shown, to guide the bees, or to at- 

 tach comb fdn. to. See detailed cut of this frame, 

 page 14 of catalogue. 



Eight-frame Dovetailed hive No. 3 is just like No. 

 1, with another super added. 



No. :>, eight-frame Dovetailed, is just like No. 1, 

 except that it has 5 tins to support the 



sections, instead of — < ' — the section-holders. 

 No. 4 is like No. b*, with 2 supers instead of one. 



Ten-frame hives are arranged just like the eight- 

 frame, bm are 16' inches wide outside, have 2 more 

 brood-frames below, and one more section-holder in 

 super. 



As two supers are just the same depth as one 

 body, brood-frames may be hung in the supers for 

 extracting, or another body may be used on top 

 the lower one, instead. The bee-space is put in the 

 bottom-board instead of making the body deeper, 

 for various reasons, of which this is the most im- 

 portant. It makes all bodies the same depth, so 

 they can be tiered and interchanged, or split in 

 two for supers, thus simplifying the construction 

 of the hive. It also secures an entrance without 

 cutting it from either body or bottom, thus leaving 

 the bottom and cover boards exactly alike. 



No tin rabbets are used in the Dovetailed hive; 

 but the frames hang on a wood bearing. No 

 enameled sheets are included with the Dovetailed 

 hives, as they are not necessary. The cover, no 

 matter where put on, comes just a bee-space above 

 the frames, honey-board, or sections, forming the 

 bestcoveriug possible in either case.
