R. L. Taylor— 1. The Heddon. 2. 

 No. 3. 8 or 16, owing to circumstances; 

 4%xl7 8/16 inches. 



E. Prance — 1. My home yard are all 

 the standard Langstroth frames. 1 wish 

 they were all the same. 



P. H. Elwood— 1. The Hetherington- 

 Quinby hive. 2. No. 3. From 5 to S, 

 usually ; and about 10x16 inches. 



J. A. Creen — 1. A modification of the 

 Heddon divisible brood-chamber hive, 

 which I prefer. 3. It has 16 frames, 

 o^xlTi'sj' inside, used in two tiers. 



Emerson T. Abbott— 1. Just now the 

 "Crown Hive." 2. Yes; a modification 

 of the Lanestroth, which I call the "St. 

 Joe." 3. y-frame, regular Langstroth 

 size. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — 1. I have used most 

 Gallup and Langstroth. I believe Lang- 

 stroth best for average person. For ex- 

 perts, Heddon is perhaps better, espe- 

 cially if made just right. 



Chas. Dadant & Son— 1 and 3. 10 

 frames, inside measurement lOJ^xlB 

 inches. The Langstroth-Quinby hang- 

 ing-frame hive, with slight modifica- 

 tions. We have some 250 in use. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— 1. What I got for 

 regular Langstroth, and didn't know 

 any better until well started with them. 

 Frames, ISxii inches. 2. My latest are 

 Dovetails, partly because I like to be in 

 fashion. 



J. E. Pond — 1. I use only the Sim- 

 plicily-Langstroth hive, and prefer it to 

 any other. Root's " A B C of Bee-Cul- 

 ture " will give you the exact measure- 

 ments, and a vast amount of other val- 

 uable Information. 



J. M. Hambaugh — 1. I am using a 

 hive that takes 10 frames ITj^xO?),', 

 both above and below, here in Califor- 

 nia. Were I to start again in Illinois, I 

 would use the Dadant hive. There Is no 

 wintering problem here to solve. 



J. P. H. Brown— 1, 2 and 3. A hive 

 called the "People's Hive" — holds iJ 

 frames, but can be made to take as 

 many as you want. It takes self-spac- 

 ing frames — size and shape of the Lang- 

 stroth — ends of top-bars close-fitting. 



C. H. Dibbern — 1. My own make, 14- 

 x21'4 inches, and 7 inches deep, taking
