This Hive has many valuable improve- 

 ments not found in other Hives. The new 

 clamping-bar D, and jaws E, E, are the best 

 arra genient for clamping brood-frames to- 

 gether now in use. The Eacks, K, R, for 

 holding the front ends of brood-frames so 

 they can be turned aside for inspection, or 

 removed without disturbing the surplus sec- 

 tions on top, is a feature found in no other 

 hive. Bees winter well in them on their 

 summer stands, when properly packed with 



chaff. They give entire satisfaction wher- 

 ever used. F. C. Frost, of Plattsburg, Mo.. 

 bought 57 of them last spring, and says he is 

 so well pleased with them that he will want 

 100 more this spring. 



They have become a great favorite with 

 many practical bee-keepers throughout the 

 country.
