 ! h? frames are in pla«a, put on the remiiniiis hoop and 

 yoiilvive a nice pltcfl to luck the quilt down ; put on the 

 cover and your hive is complete. 



When the se vson for surplus hcMisy arrives, you h.ivc on- 

 ly to riise the eover, quilt, :>nd lop hoop, and put anoth- 

 I'rstorv on, composed of S hoops and 10 frames. These 

 will cost with the end boirds a-il r.ibbets, just §l.'2l more, 

 CI- 8).tS in all, for a eomi)latR tvro-9tory hive arranirod for

 lieehivos, W5 woidd take nothing more. 



For box honey, the expense will depend on the amount 

 (if bos room required; and this depends almost entirely 

 on the locUitv and season. If you are where honey 

 comes only for two or three weeks, as with us, one case of 

 Iwxes will probiblv be all you need, but if you have a lo- 

 fition where Jioney comes continuously for throe months 

 or more, so that vou may need box room for 2.50 lbs. i>er 

 hive, -see pa^e 129, Vol. Ill,— .vou will need throe or four 

 c uses to e!K-h' hive. In view of this, we rcilly do not see 

 liow we are to de(;ide just how much should constitute a 

 hive for Iwx honov. A'^ain, many place the boxes directlv 

 on the frames : and it may be that as this is so much sim- 

 pler, it will be the best way, even if we do have to 

 t ikc. them off U) f,'et at the frames. In this way we shall 



II led four hoo()s and twenty seven section boxes, at an ex- 

 in»iise of only ."il (Muts, to convert our one story L. hive in- 

 i!i one n.rr:in?od for box honey. If we put tlio fouTidation 

 .-■uides in all these, 27 cents mors ; and if the lower hoop 

 is made with metal bars to hold tiie sections from touch- 

 iua; the frames, and to enable us to handle the whole as 

 one box, the price reache.s $1.00, to be abided to the S2.25 

 lor the two-story L. liive.

Tlie al)OV<! is the liivc we use and recommend in 

 preference to everything else, and it contains every 

 thing needed for .ill purposes cxcei>t at the suridus 

 season. If you decide to use the extractor you want 

 an extra body and 10 frames -Sl,25— making complcttv 

 , two story bi'.e — §.",.'0— or, you can have .">{ section box- 

 i es (withouc guide combs) "in place of the 10 frames, jic 

 i the same price. IT you i)refcr the old style of ghiss 

 boxes, we can ilfc the i!]>pcr story with 1*^ having glass 

 on four sides at )2V cents each; this will make the 

 hive and all cost .^;,'j,(M). The glass ii so easily taken 

 out of these boxes that we shall remove and pack 

 them separately in shipiiing. The same hive without 

 the glass, will bo SI.Mj less." By using lialf of an upper 

 story we fdiall have only 27 section boxes, or 9 gl.ass 

 boxes: making a storv and a half hive complete for 

 S:>,00, nnd K.}.il respectively.

Or you can have instead of the frames above, Jiny of

A one story rompietc for i:? frames of either tho 

 Strindard, American, or Gallu|i hivc^, will cost $2,50. 

 and they can also be n>i'd with anv of the surplus ar- 

 raogcments mentionoii: also, as they are all deeper 

 than the Langstroth frame, a single story can be used 

 with fev/cr frames, and sections or boxes at the side 

 of tho frames. As an illustration ; we cm take four 

 frame.; out of the one story Quinby hive, and put in 

 , their place 24 secti >n boxes, or we" can riMuove tlirce 

 frames only, and ))ul in .six gl.'iss boxes, for (i sections 

 occupy precisely the spac-e uf I frame. A one story
