THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



621 



Idr. ElTln S. Armstrong, of Jersey- 

 Tille, IIJs., has for several years made a 

 large exhibit at the St. Joseph, Mo., Inter- 

 State Exposition. This year his exhibit 

 included colonies of Italian bees, uni-comb 

 observation-nuclei, with beautiful queens, 

 large and well-marked. A grand display of 

 comb and extracted honey, the latter put up 

 In the most approved small packages of all 

 kinds. An exhibit of apiarian supplies 

 which was very creditable and diversified. 



His hive and section case exhibited, wa9>a 

 marvel of neatness, and almost perfection 

 Itself In all Its essential features. 



His use of the T-tins in the surplus-sec- 

 tion cases is very commendable : they serve 

 as dividers as well as supports for the 

 sections— the whole case is capable of being 

 Invertible at will. 



The manipulating side of the section-case, 

 as well as the brood-chamber of the hive, is 

 easily operated and can be adjusted 

 instantly.
