ADDRESS 



THE A. L ROOT CO, 



MEDINA, OHIO. 



la the multitude of counsellors there is 

 safety.— Prov. 11-14. 



The Style of Hive Preferred. 



Query I02.— What make or style of hive aud 

 super do you prefer? Why ?— Wkst. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— LaDgstroth. Most use 

 it. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown— I use a modification 

 of the Langstroth hive. 



Emerson T. Abbott— The '• St. Joe." Be- 

 cause it is made to suit me. 



C. H. Dibhern— 1. The Dibbern. 3. Be- 

 cause it suits iiir better than any other. 



Mrs. L. Harrison— Eight-frame Lang- 

 stroth. with Heddon case. Because it's good 

 enough. 



D. W. Heise— Langstroth length, Quinby 

 depth ; super same. •■ Why ?" Gives me bet- 

 ter results all arouud. 



W. G. Larrabee— Langstroth 10-frame 

 hive, and Id pound slatted-bottom super. 

 Because I like it the best. 



E Whitcomb— Any make with movable 

 frame. For the reason that about the same 

 results are attained, with the same care. 



J. M. Hambaugh -Ten frame Simplicity, 

 because it combines more desirable fea- 

 tures, in my estimation, here in California. 



E France— I prefer a quadruple hive, 

 with Langstroth frames. There is better 

 winter protection when wintered out-of- 

 doors. 



O. O. Poppleton— I prefer what is known 

 as the Long-Ideal hive, with no super. 

 This is mainly for obtaining extracted 

 honey. 



Rev. M. Mahin— The one I use, but X can- 

 not describe it here. In several features my 

 hives and supers are peculiar to myself. 

 They just suit me. 



Eugene Secor— I use the S-frame Lang- 

 stroth hive with super to match, both the T 

 and the open frame to support sections. 

 Separators preferred in all cases. 



R. C. Aikin— T super or a compression su- 

 per without T's or slats, separators to sup- 

 port sections ; square joint hive as in dove- 

 tailed; brood-chamber a flattened cube. 



Jas. A. Stone— Improved LangstrothSim- 

 plicity. because I think it is the easiest to 

 manipulate and as simple in construction 

 as I think it possible to make a No. 1 hive. 



Mrs. J. M. Null— Foi cofnb honey and 

 cellar-wintering B. Taylor's, or Heddon's 

 divisible, or 8 frame hives. For out door 

 wintering bees do better in deeper frames. 



G. M. Doolittle— My own. Because— be- 

 cause— well, any of the good hives on the 

 market will give good results if there is 

 plenty of brain, muscle and push behind 

 them. 



Dr. C. C. Milkr— I don't know, as yet. 

 bow it may be about some of the new 

 supers, but as yet I like the T super and 

 the dovetailed hive. Too long a story to 

 tell why. 



J. A. Green— A modification of the Hed- 

 don hive, made by myself (none for sale). 

 with super containing what are known as
