GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



May, 1922 



DON'T BE CONFUSED 



H In buying a larger hive tlian the ten-frame Langstroth hive. Quinby invented an 

 eight-frame hive with frames about llVt inches deep. It was long ago found inade- 

 quate in size and was made into a ten-frame hive, a feize we have offered for some years. 

 11 Charles Dadant found the ten-frame Quinby depth hive needed another frame. He 

 also found it a beekeeping necessity to change this hive further, and evolved the 1%- 

 inch spacing from center to center of the frames. This is the real principle to be 

 considered in the

SECTIONS 



Just a reminder that our sections are 

 made from Northern Wisconsin bass- 

 wood; this makes them JUST A LIT- 

 TLE BETTER. This basswood is all 

 winter-sawed, that's why our sections 

 are JUST A LITTLE WHITER and 

 look JUST A LITTLE BETTER. We 

 are working overtime to give our cus- 

 tomers JUST A LITTLE BETTER 

 SERVICE. 



We have a full line of hives, supers, 

 hive-bodies, frames, foundation and 

 all other Stnndard Supplies that are 

 JUST A LITTLE BETTER; get our 

 catalog and know why.
