Extractins-Frame Preferred. 



Query 85.— Please give the dimensions of 

 super frame for extracting, to which you ac- 

 cord the preference, giving measurements of 

 each of its parts.— S. A. D. 



E. France (Wis.) — The Langstroth 

 frame. 



Emerson T. Abbott (Mo.)— The Lang- 

 stroth frame. 



R. L. Taylor (Mich.)— The frame used 

 in the Heddon hive. 



G. M. Doolittle (N. Y.)— The savie 

 frame as used in the hive below. 



Prof. A. J. Cook (Calif.)— Size of 

 brood-frames, Langstroth or Heddon. 



D. W. Heise (Ont., Can.)— The Stan- 

 dard Langstroth, if for extracting only. 



Eugene Secor (Iowa) — Half the depth 

 of the Langstroth frame, or a little 

 more. 



C. H. Dibbern (111.)— As I extract very 

 little honey I will leave this for others 

 to answer. 



Dr. C. C. Miller (III.)— The same as 

 frame of brood-chamber, except perhaps 

 shallower. 



W. G. Larrabee (Vt.) — I use the Lang- 

 stroth frame for extracting, the same as 

 for the brood-nest. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown (Ga.)— I prefer a 

 frame the size of the Langstroth. For 

 supers, a half-frame. 



Mrs. L. Harrison (III.) — The regular 

 Langstroth frame. I have had no ex- 

 perience with any other. 



J. M. Hambaugh (Calif.) — I use the 

 regular Langstroth lO-frame hive su- 

 pers and hive, interchangeably. 



P. H. Elwood (N. Y.)— I have no very 

 decided preference, but think a half- 

 story frame preferable — 6 to 8 inches 

 deep. 



Jas. A. Stone (111.)— I have never used 

 any but the Langstroth frame in an 

 upper story, with queen-excluder b,e- 

 tween. 



Rev. M. Mahin (Ind.) — My brood- 

 frames are 12x10 inches, outside meas- 

 ure. My frames for extracting are 

 12x6 inches, and they exactly suit me. 



R. C. Aikin (Colo.) — I must say I do 

 not know, but probably a 5x16 frame, 

 top and bottom ?8xl inch, ends %'xl?^x5 

 — a standing, closed-end, close-fitting 

 frame. 



J. E. Pond (Mass.) — I use the regular 

 Simplicity-Langstroth frame. Others 

 may be better in some localities, but for 

 all around work I don't think it can be 

 •excelled. 



A. F.Brown (Fla.) — A hanging frame. 

 ITjgxOV^ ; top-bar one inch wide and % 

 thick ; bottom-bar % inch wide and ii 

 inch thick ; end pieces Jif inch thick and 

 one inch wide. 



Dr. A. B. Mason (Ohio) — In the early 

 part of the season, before the colony be- 

 comes strong enough to occupy a full 

 story as a super, I use frames the same
