THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Sept. 30, 



to any extent. 2. I have no preference 

 for any other hive. 3. My hive contains 

 K) frames, inside comb surface 5 '4x20 

 inches ; frames have closed ends. 



G. M. Doolittle— 1. DoolittleCJallup. 

 2. Use Langstroth in out-apiary, and a 

 few in home yard. o. Gallup frame is 

 lO^xlO?^ inside, and I use it of them. 

 Formerly I used 12, as that was the 

 number Gallup advised when in Iowa. 



Eugene Secor — 1. Nearly all of mine 

 are S-frame Langstroth. (The so-called 

 dovetailed hive is practically the same 

 thing.) 2. Having tried a good many, I 

 have about come to the conclusion that 

 the above are good enough for my local- 

 ity and practice. 



G. W. Deraaree — 1. I use the standard 

 Langstroth hive, frame 179^x93^ Inches. 

 2. I might change a little if it would not 

 give me an odd-size frame. 8. The 

 standard Langstroth hive frame is 1~% 

 x9ij,, as set down in Rev. L. L. Lang- 

 stroth's old work on bees. 



Rev. M. Mahin— 1. I could not give a 

 full description of the hive I use, in the 

 space allowed in this department. The 

 frames are 9J^ inches from top to bot- 

 tom, inside measure, and a little more 

 than 11 inches from front to rear, in- 

 side measure. They are just 12 inches 

 from front to rear, outside. I do not 

 know that on the whole I would care to 

 change them. They are convenient, 

 and easily handled. 



A. F. Brown — 1. Dimensions of my 

 hives are 13% inches wide, 15 inches 

 long, 9J-2 inches deep, inside measure- 

 ment, taking a frame 14i4x9i)i, top-bar 

 16 inches long. 2. I also have a large 

 number of the same size hives that are 

 only b% inches deep. My preference 

 for a section is '6%yLi,x\% inches, 32 of 

 these to a case ; and my hive-body is 

 adapted to the section, instead of the 

 section to the hive-body dimensions. 

 This frame also fits the standard extract- 

 ors of to-day. 



Qei;)eral \icrr)s^ 



Like tlie Bees. 



The world is always sunny 

 To the chap that has the money, 

 But you've got to hunt the honey 

 Like the bees! 



If they idled every hour 



In the shine or in the shower, 



Would they ever find a flower 



In the breeze ? — Selrcted. 



A Buffalo Convention Echo. 



Ever since the combination of the G. 

 A. R. and bee-keepers' convention at 

 Buffalo, I have thought J would write 

 to the American Bee Journal and say 

 how much I enjoyed the latter. Meet- 

 ing with the fraternity of so many lead- 

 ing lights in bee-lore was of itself in- 

 spiring. When wc consider the broad 

 expanse of country represented by that 

 association — from Maine to California, 

 from Canada to Florida, and even the 

 Island of Cuba — makes one feel that bee- 

 keepers and bee-knowledge are on the 

 Increase, and a new impetus is being 

 gathered by such meetings. 



Theory does not become knowledge 

 until it is put Into practice, hence we 

 cannot take the knowledge of another
