HART'S IMPROVED 



UK6STS0TB KIGH-PEESSUR,E BEE HIVE ! 



After about fifteen years experimenting, simplify- 

 ing and utilizing, I have succeeded in arranging a 

 hive that I am confident possesses more advantages 

 for less money than any other yet offered, and as it 

 is patented— by letters dated 1808 and 1872— will state 

 some of the advantages : It is double and triple 

 walled, one thickness tarred roofing paper, side open- 

 ing, fast or loose bottom, adjustable portico and 

 honey-board, can be used single or two-story, long, 

 low brood-chamber, or compounded to suit any sized 

 swarm, either for comb or extracted honey, breeding 

 colonies or for a non-swarmer. Now, after testing 

 my hive thoroughly, I wish to introduce it to the bee 

 keepers of the United States, either by selling terri- 

 tory very cheap, or by responsible agents, giving ref- 

 erences, to manufacture and sell on a royalty. By 

 sending 25 cents in stamps you will get a pamphlet of 

 50 pages, describing it more particularly, and giving 

 much useful matter pertaining to my plan of work- 

 ing. &c. A. H. HAKT.
