■' section-holders "—single-tier wide-frames 

 with tin separator nailed on, without top- 

 bar. I adopted these because I thought 

 they were best, and I have seen no reason 

 to change my mind. 



J. E. Pond— I prefer the Simplicity Lang- 

 stroth hive, with \' inch wide super, of a 

 size that tour will fit a frame 4'4X4 '4x1,'^. 

 I do not know that there is any great choice 

 in supers, except they should be of con- 

 venient size. 



R. L. Taylor— The Heddon. Because with 

 it I can most conveniently suit the size of 

 the colony— give a small brood-chamber to 

 a swarm— and get along with very little 

 handling of frames, without any offsetting 

 disadvantage. 



v. H. Elwood— The Quinby-Hetherington 

 hive. It is best to move; best to Und 

 queens in. because the light floods all parts 

 and there are no hive-corners for queens to 

 hide in. I have yet to find a hanging frame 

 that I can manipulate as quickly. 



Mrs. A. J. Barber— Eight-frame dove- 

 tailed with section-holders. For one rea- 

 son, they are small enough so that they are 

 not too heavy to handle. I have used them 

 more than any other, and they seem more 

 convenient than any other to me. 



Dr. A. B. Mason— Langstroth. Because 1 

 like it better than any other 1 have tried. 

 I produce extracted honey and use same 

 size combs in the super as in the brood- 

 nest. Occasionally. I produce a little comb 

 honey, using either the T super or section- 

 holders with fence separators. 



G. W. Demaree— I prefer the modernized 

 Langstroth hive, with duplicate story for 

 taking honey with the extractor, and the 

 T tin support section-cases, for comb honey. 

 In the Middle and Southern States the lU- 

 frame hive is best, while in the North the 

 Sframe size may be used with good results. 



C. Davenport— Nearly all the frame hives 

 I have in use are made on the same princi- 

 ple as the dovetailed, because it is the han- 

 diest, most convenient, and most practical 

 hive I know of for a single brood-story hive. 

 I am using various kinds of supers, but am 

 not satisfied with any of them. 



S. T. Pettit — I can answer better by giv- 

 ing the size of frame and number used. If 

 I were starting again I would make my 

 hive a little longer than it is. I would 

 make the frames 1.5 inches long, '.iVj inches 

 deep, and 12 in each hive. Reason : More 

 room for supers, and gives long entrance 

 for ventilation. Many hives now used are 

 too small, so I think. 



A. F. Brown— For general use the 10- 

 frame dovetail white-pine hive, standard 

 Langstroth size frame, two stories. For 

 comb honey I would prefer the same num- 

 ber and depth of frames, but would reduce 

 the length to about 14 inches. I have used 

 such hives with very satisfactory results. 

 For comb honey super I have used those 

 having section-holders, with wood separa- 

 tors. 



Adrian Getaz— My own, of course. For
