28 THE BOOK OF THE HONEY BEE 



The Stand. 



This is made of such dimensions as to afford a firm 

 support for the floor board (see illustration page 29). 

 The four legs, which should be about 10 inches long, are 

 made from scantling 3 inches by 3 inches, and should be 

 so cut, that when built into the collar or framework of 

 the stand, they splay outwards_^ow the corners. 



The slightly enlarged drawing A shows how the 

 legs should be cut so as to obtain the necessary splay. 



The collar, or frame, is made from f inch by 2^ 

 inches stuff. 



Despite appearances, this stand is unequalled for 

 rigidity. 



An alternative method of supporting the floor board, 

 by means of four legs screwed direct to the joists A, 

 is shown in the two sectional drawings page 3 1.
