The engraving gives a good idea of the hive. 

 The brood-chamber is in two sections ; also the 

 surphis arranironifiit. which may be interclianged 

 or iiivt'rteil at will. The cover, bottom-board, and 

 to|) iinii hiilti'iii (it each sectional cawe has one-half 

 of a regular hue-j^pace, so that the surphiB cases 

 with the sections, may be placed between the two 

 brood-chanibers,or the latter may be transposed 

 or inverted— in fact, all parts of this hive are 

 perfectly interchangeable. The brood-frames will 

 ALL be bored for wires.
