IlBiid-IIoles or Cleats— Whicli i 



Query 72.— Do you prefer hand-holes or 

 cleats tor hives, supers and shipping-eases V 

 —Calif. 



E. France — Hand-holes. 



Eugene Secor — Hand-holes, 



Mrs. L. Harrison — Hand-holes. 



R. L. Taylor — Hand-holes, decidedly. 



Emerson T. Abbott — Hand-holes, al- 

 ways. 



J. A.Stone — For general purposes, the 

 hand-holes. 



E. S. Lovesy— Hand-holes, Cleats are 

 in the way. 



P, H. Elwood — Well-made hand-holes, 

 as being less in the way. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — I think hand-holes, 

 tho I have no great preference. 



Mrs. J. M. Null — Hand-holes for ship- 

 ping-cases and supers; cleats for heavy 

 hives. 



O. O. Poppleton — Cleats for hives ; 

 hand-holes for supers and shipping- 

 cases. 



Dr. A. B. Mason — Cleats for hives and 

 supers, always ; and hand-holes for ship- 

 ping-cases. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — I prefer cleats 

 for hives, and hand-holes for supers and 

 shipping-cases. 



Chas. Dadant & Son — Our own hives 

 have a cleat all around, so we have no 

 need of hand-holes. 



Dr. C. C. Miller— Hand-holes for ship- 

 ping-cases, either for supers, and cleats, 

 very decidedly, for hives. 



D. W. Heise — 1 do not use single- 

 walled hives, but for supers give me 

 cleats every lime ; for shipping-cases, I 

 don't know. 



C. H. Dibbern — Hand-holes every time, 

 as they answer the purpose just as well, 

 and are never in the way when piling up 

 the cases in the honey-room. 



Rev. M. Mahin — For hives I prefer 

 cleats; for supers I do not use either, 

 and do not see the need of them. I sell 

 all of my honey at home, and do not use 

 shipping-cases. 



J. E. Pond — It makes no difference, 

 one is just as handy as the other for 

 actual use. In packing, the hand-holes 

 take up no room, and consequently will 

 store closer than cleats. 



G. W. Demaree — I use hand-holes made 

 with a wobble-saw — they are less In the 

 way. Cleats just below the lids of the 

 shipping-cases answer all purposes, and 

 I prefer them to hand-clefts, 



G. M. Doolittle — Cleats for the first 

 two; hand-holes for the last. Hand- 

 holes are best where it is necessary to 

 pack things close in shipping, otherwise 

 the cleats save time in handling. 



S. T. Pettit— Cleats, To save room in 

 packing or loading, place the cleats on 

 about one-half of the hives a little lower 

 than on the other half, so that the cleats 

 on one hive will slip under those of the 

 adjoining hive.
