Wbat Size of Frame and Brood- 

 Chamber Would You Use ? 



Querr 971.— 1. With the knowledge you 

 now have of bee-keeping, and you were just 

 starting in the business, what size of frame 

 and number would you use in the brood- 

 chamber ? 



2. Would you use a single, large brood- 

 chamber and a division-board, or a small one 

 and tier up ?— Minn. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — 1. I'm on the fence. 

 2. Still on the fence. 



R. L. Taylor — 1. Those used in the 

 New Heddon hive. 2. The latter. 



E. Prance — 1. The Standard Lang- 

 stroth frame — 8 frames. 2. Tier up. 



G. M. Doolittle— 1. The Gallup size 

 10%xlO% inches, inside measure. 2. 

 The former. 



W. G. Larrabee — Ten Laugstroth 

 frames. 2. A large brood-chamber with 

 division-board. 



Jas. A. Stone — 1. Langstroth frame, 

 10 in number. 2. The size indicated iu 



1, and no division-board. 



H. D. Cutting — 1. In my locality I 

 would use 8 standard Langstroth frames. 



2. A large brood-chamber. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — 1. I would use the 

 Langstroth frame, 8 to a hive. 2. I 

 would use, and use now, a single brood- 

 chamber. 



Rev. M. Mahin — I think I would use 

 frames 14x12. 1. I would use a large 

 brood-chamber and a division-board when 

 necessary. 



J. E. Pond — 1. Regular Simplicity 

 Langstroth, 10 frames. 2. I would use 

 a single brood-chamber. "Heddon splits" 

 are not to my taste. 



Chas. Dadant .t Son — 1. We use a 

 frame 10}ixl8, inside, 10 frames to the 

 hive. 2. We use a large brood-chamber 

 and division-board. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — 1. I should use a 

 frame the size of the Langstroth, and 9 

 to 10 in the hive. 2. If the honey-flow 

 was great, I would tier up. 



Eugene Secor — 1. For my locality a 

 Langstroth frame with 8 in the brood- 

 chamber. 2. With an 8-frame hive 

 there is little need for a division-board. 



P. H. Elwood— 1. Our frame is lUfx- 

 17, outside. For some reasons, in this 

 locality, if it was a couple of inches 

 shorter I would like it better. 2. Single. 



C. H. Dibbern — 1. I should use a 

 frame 5Kx20 inches, inside measure. 

 2. I would use a single chamber for 

 comb honey, and two or more for ex- 

 tracted. 



Prof. A. J. Cook — 1. I should use the 

 regular sectional hive. If I had no hives, 

 2 small and tier up. 2. If I did not use 

 the Heddon I should use the 8-frame 

 Langstroth. 



Allen Pringle — 1. I would use what I 

 am now mostly using, viz.: 8 (and some 

 10) frames of about the Langstroth size. 

 2. I would use the 8 or 10 frame hive, 

 and tier up for extracted honey, and the 

 8-frame and Heddon hive for comb 

 honey. I like the Heddon hive for comb 



honey after the swarming commences. 

 I put the swarm in a single section of 

 the brood-chamber, confine the queen 

 there, and tier up the section supers. 

 But if I intend to winter such a colony, 

 I give the queen the other section during 

 the fall flow. 



B. Taylor — 1. Ten frames, X'6]4 inches 

 long, and 10 deep. 2. A full brood- 

 chamber to hive first swarms in. After 

 the white honey harvest was over I'd 

 add another hive to be filled with winter 

 stores. 



J. M. Hambaugh — 1 and 2. — With my 

 present surroundings I would use the 

 Quinby-Dadant hive for extracting, and 

 the Langstroth-Simplicity for comb 

 honey, both 10 combs to the hive, with 

 division-board. 



Rev. Emerson T. Abbott— 1. An 8- 

 frame hive for comb honey with a Lang- 

 stroth frame. For extracting, a larger 

 hive and a deeper frame. 2. I do not 

 want any division-board nor any other 

 traps in the brood-chamber. 



Wm. M. Barnum — 1. I would use the 

 Langstroth frame : a Simplicity story- 

 and-a-half (case) hive — no more super 

 frames for me. I think it would be a 

 10-frame size. 2. I would use the 

 division-board — if it were necessary. 



G. W. Demaree — 1. For the sake of 

 uniformity, I would use the Langstroth 

 frame, and 10 frames in the brood de- 

 partment. If your locality favors a 

 smaller number of frames you can re- 

 duce the number by the application of 

 division-boards. 2. No management will 

 give as good results as the tiering system.
