Expect Better Honey-Flo-w.

 my bees do not work on it.

Side or Top Storing. 



Mr. Frank Benton says In Farmers' 

 Bulletin, No. 59 : "A construction (of

 pansion and of contraction is desirable."

 the brood-frames Instead of at their 

 side? Does a construction with all 

 combs in one long hive not admit uiore

 with stories ? German bee-keepers of 

 long experience say the first arrange-
