Position of Sections Over the 

 Frames. 



Query 65.— 1. Do the sections in the supers 

 you use run the same way as the frames in 

 tbe hive, or across the frames ? 



3. Don't you thlnls the sections wlil be fln- 

 isht up better or tie filled- better, if they 

 run the same way as the brood-framesV— 

 Easterner. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 1. Yes. 2. No. 



W. G. Larrabee — 1, Same way as the 

 frames. 2. No. 



R. L. Taylor — 1. Yes, the same way. 

 2. X don't linow. 



E. France — 1. The same way as the 

 frames. 2. Yes. 



Emerson T. Abbott — 1. The same 

 way. 2. I do not know. 



J. M. Hambaugh — 1. Yes, with the 

 brood-combs. 2. Yes, I believe so. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— 1 and 2. I have 

 used both about equally. I see no choice. 



Kev. M. Mahin — 1. They run the same 

 way. 2. I cannot see that it would 

 make any difference. 



Jas. A. Stone — 1. The same way. 2- 

 I have always thought it the best way, 

 but do not know as to that. 



J. E. Pond — 1. The same way as the 

 frames. 2. Yes, most assuredly ; at 

 least that is my experience. 



G. M. Doolittle — 1 and 2. I use them 

 both ways, and see nothinff in favor of 

 either as to better-filled sections. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— 1. Same way. 2. I 

 don't see why it should make any differ- 

 ence, unless because the entrance is a 

 freer. 



Wm. McEvoy — 1. Mine run the same 

 way as the frames in the hive. 2. Yes, 

 where my system is for working for sec- 

 tion honey Is followed. 



Chas. Dadant &, Son — 1. They run 

 with the frames. 2. It matters but lit- 

 tle how they are turned, so the bees 

 have broad access to them from below. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — 1 and 2. In some 

 of my supers they run across the 

 frames, and In others they run with the 

 frames. I have never been able to de- 

 tect any difference. 



Eugene Secor — 1. The same way as 

 the frames. 2. I don't know about that. 

 The reason I prefer them to be parallel 

 with the frames is because I only have 

 to level the hive one way. 



C. H. Dibbern — 1. The same way. 2. 

 It is more convenient, owing to the 

 shape of my hives, and also the only 

 way I could place them, as I tilt the 

 hive forward to make it shed rain. 



G. W. Demaree — 1. The sections in 

 my section-cases run with the frames. 

 2. I don't know that their position in 

 the hive has anything to do with the 

 manner In which they are finisht by the 

 bees, if the hive Is level on Its stand. 

 But I want my hives a little low at their 



The Bee-Keeper's Guide

 magnificent boofe of 460 pages, in neat and 

 substantial cloth binding, we propose to give 

 away to our present subscribers, for the work 

 of getting NEW subscribers for the American

 necessary — It is simply the most complete sci- 

 entific and practical bee-book published to- 

 day. Fully Illustrated, and all written in the 

 most fascinating style, The author is also 

 too well-known to the whole bee- world to re- 



?uire any introduction. No bee-keeper is 

 ully equipped, or his library complete, with- 

 out "The Bee-keeper's Guide."

 scribers only, and no premium is also given 

 to the two new subscribers— simply the Bee

 um. Prof. Cook's book alone sent for II. '25, 

 or we club It with iBe Bee Journal for a year 

 —both together for only 11.75. But surely 

 anybody can get only 2 new subscribers to 

 the Bee Journal for a year, and thus get the 

 boo" as a premium. Let everybody try for it'

entrances to drain them, and in this 

 case jthe section should run with the 

 frames. 



J. A. Green — 1. Same way. 2. I 'do 

 not think it would make any difference. 

 The only objection I can see to having 

 them run crosswise is that the hive must 

 be leveled both ways, which is neither 

 easy nor desirable. 



A. F. Brown — I and 2. My sections 

 run parallel with the frames. For many 

 reasons this is best. I do not think it 

 makes much difference to the bees 

 which way they run ; they will fill them 

 for me one way as well as the other.
