oAre You Thinking About 



A BIG HIVE? 



Wherever the larger brood-chamber may be advantageous, the Jumbo Hive 

 meets the requirements of the beekeeper and the bees for size fully as well 

 as any large hive, with the very decided advantage of not necessitating any 

 additional or odd-sized equipment. It gives 279^^ more brooding and storage 

 space than the standard 10-frame hive. The Jumbo brood-chamber with 10 

 good combs has room for over 90,000 cells, which number is computed to be 

 20,000 more than the best laying records show that any queen has been able 

 to fill at any one time. This is sufficient room for the most prolific queen 

 and 15 to 20 pounds of stores, even at the height of brood-rearing. 



BECAUSE— 



— if you plan using a larger hive next year, the Jumbo equipment is what 

 you want. It will prove cheapest and best. 



— especially, all standard 10-franie equipments fits the Jumbo. So, you can 

 get this larger hive for your apiary at least possible expense. 



— once a part of your equipment, it can be worked with least possible incon- 

 venience.
