BEE-KEEPERS' SUPPLIES 



One Story Simplicity Langstrotli Hive. 



This hive fig. 335 is one of the best styles in the 

 market today and is preferred by many. It is similar 

 in construction to the dovetailed style, comprising all 

 of the important features, and has the additional ad- 

 vantage of the rabbets which enables one to tier up 

 the hives or supers without danger of their being 

 easily knocked out of place. The body is 16Xx20x 

 9)4 deep and is strong in construction, the corners 

 being grooved and rabbeted so as to be nailed both 

 ways. Cement coated nails of proper sizes are in- 

 cluded to nail material. This hive body will take 

 plain Langstroth, Hoflman end spaced, metal spaced 

 and thick top stapled spaced brood frames. The 

 cover is the new metal roof, telescoping the body a 

 little, including a metal bound super cover. If this cover has occasionally a coat of our hive 

 paint it will last a long time and positively no leaking, which is a great advantage over the old 

 styles that are frequently leaking and soiling the comb-honey sections. The bottom board 

 regularly furnished with this outfit is the old style B bottom board of ^ inch stock, with cleats 

 running crosswise as shown in the cut and for the average beekeeper it equals new style Dan- 

 zenbaker Bottom which can be used by removing the rabbets at bottom of hive. 



For prices of this outfit refer to table of prices on the preceding page, Langstroth size. 



Fie. 335. One Story I,ane. Simplicity Hive. 



This hive is the same as shown above with 

 the addition of one or more supers as you may 

 order. One super is furnished with 1}4 story 

 hive, two supers with two story hive. The 

 supers fit upon the body upon each other, and 

 are interchangeable, furnished regular depths 

 to take either comb honey sections or shallow 

 extracting frames as ordered. Comb honey 

 supers are fitted to take 4^x1^, 4J^x 1)4 or 

 4xSxlfi honey sections, with section holders, 

 separators or fences and metal rests. The ex- 

 tracting supers take the shallow extracting 

 frames, 5?^xl7f^. This super is especially 

 adapted for extracting honey produced in localities where the honey flow is short and the col- 

 onies are of moderate strength, as a full story added to such colonies at the start would make 

 it too cold for the bees to do good work, as with the '/S story you can add more room from 

 time to time, as the strength of the colonies will permit. For most parts of our State we 

 strongly recommend the extracting super for honey production. These supers can be slid on 

 from one end and thus avoid crushing any of the bees as you will observe by the cut. The 

 same assortment of supers as used on the dovetailed hives may be used on this hive if need be.
