• For the Langstroth, or any Hive of that size~ 

 such as the Dovetailed, they are umiuestionably 

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

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

 ways ready lor rough handling, such as for ship- 

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

 moulded comb guide as shown, and is I 1-32 in~ 

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

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

 knife edge. The bottom bar is % in. square so the 

 bees will build their combs down to it. Queens 

 can't hide between it and the comb, aud it does 4 

 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 frtime wilf 

 last a life-tltne! get a good one. Price 61.70 per 

 100; 315.00 per K000. 



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 DOVETAILED HIVE, remember we were the originators of this Hive, and are the only 



ones who have put any substantial improvements on it. It is now out-selling ;ill other hives put together. 

 If you want the latest as well ;is those made uion some new and expensive automatic machinery on which 

 the dovetailing is A GLEAN CUT, buy of us or our dealers. Send for our 5:.:- Page Catalogue of BeeSup- 

 plies which will give full particulars. The information in it will be worth much to you. F. A. Salisbury, 

 Syracuse, N. Y., is our Eastern Agent for these goods. When more convenient order of him.
