1HE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



DID YOU KNOW THAT 



FIXED FRAMES ARE THE RAGE? 



Well, the question with many is. which one to adopt. 

 tomers have almost uniformly elected in their orders 



After offering 

 the justly populiir 



for sale several styles, our eus- 



tiOFFMflN FRAME, 



For the Langstroth, or any Hive of that size, 

 such as the Dovetailed, they are unquestionably 

 the best. They are not stuck up with burr-combs, 

 are self-spacing, the most rapidly handled, and al- 

 ways ready for rough handling, such as for ship- 

 ping and moving to out yards. The top bar has a 

 moulded comb guide as shown, and is 1 1-33 in. 

 wide and % in. thick. The end bars are widened 

 at the top, and on one side are brought to a blunt 

 knife edge. The bottom bar i> % in. square so the 

 bees will build their combs down to it. Queens 

 can't hide between it and the comb, and it does 

 not catch and roll over the bees in drawing the 

 frame out of the hive. This frame, costs a little 

 more- than the old-style thin-top-bar frames, but, 

 oh my! how much better! As a good frame will 

 la-t a life-time, get a good one. Price 51.70 per 

 LOO; $15.00 per {..000. 



OUR DOVETAILED HIVE, 



In fact, all our Hives complete, now have the New Hoffman Frame with the other inside furniture. 

 Although the new frame is more expensive we put up the hive combinations at the SAME PRICE. 

 Speaking of the DOVE 1'A LLEI) HI VK. remember we were the origiuatnrs of this Hive, and are the only 

 ones who have put any -ubstmtial improvements on it. It is now out-selling all other hives put together.
