THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



hive or frame. The L. frame is the next 

 thing to a standard, but a large and growing 

 number of apiarists believe that a frame of 

 some other size and construction best an- 

 swers their special needs. He is one of this 

 number, preferring standing frames 7 inches 

 deep and 16'^^ long, used in a case. J. E. 

 Pond stands up for the L. frame in a double 

 walled hive. G. H. Larrabee uses and likes 

 the L. frame and chaif hive, but some of the 

 reasons given in favor of the chaff hives are 

 not very weighty. Eugene Secor says that, 

 all things considered, the eight frame L. 

 hive is the hive for him. J. M. Hambaugh 

 prefers large hives. The bees swarm less, 

 and he gets more honey. G. W. Demaree 

 explains the beauty of the tiering up system, 

 with shallow supers. Dr. C. C. Miller favors 

 the eight-frame L. hive. R. L. Taylor de- 

 scribes the "New Heddon Hive" and its 

 method of management, in substantially 

 the same manner as he does in this issue of 

 the Review, but, mind you, he doesn't call 

 it the Heddon hive, he mentions it as the 

 sectional hive. Considering that this hive 

 has been written about, and described, and 

 re-described, yes, and alpiost quarreled over, 

 for the last two or three years, it is a trifle 

 amusing, to say the least, to read the fol- 

 lowing from the editorial pen : — 



" Mr. Taylor's opinion of what constitutes 

 the best hive differs very much (?) from the 

 other ten whose views are found in the list. 

 If I understand the principle and construc- 

 tion of the hive as described by Mr. Taylor, 

 it does not seem to me that it would do for 

 general use. However, we must credit Mr. 

 Taylor uiith iJresenfing soynefhing new (f) in 

 bee-hives.'" Italics and '?'s ours.— Ed.
