'BhQ Hand System 



'TO satisfy a number of customers we are now making hives to suit the above system, just as the inventor him- 

 self uses them. These are not listed in our regular spring catalog, and are not kept in stock at any of our 

 agencies. All orders will be filled from Medina. If ordered early enough, however, they can be forwarded to 

 any one of our branches for redistribution. If you are going to try a few of these hives the coming season, we 

 earnestly urge you to order early before the rush season comes on.
