THE APIAEY; OE, 



COVEE OF ZINC. No. 29. 



This zinc cover introduced by H. Taylor, 

 Esq., for his cottage hive (No. 14) will also 

 be found useful as a protection from wet for 

 many other descriptions of round straw hives. 



BELL GLASSES. 

 25. 26. 



27. 



25. To contain 10 lbs., 10 inches high, 7 inches wide. 



26. To contain 6 lbs., 7 inches high, 5 J inches wide. 



27. To contain 3 lbs., 5 inches high, 4 inches wide. 



These bell glasses are used in the hives before described. 

 No. 25 is for Nutt's Hive (No. 1) ; No. 26 is for our Improved 

 Cottage Hive (No. 5) ; No. 27 is a very small glass, one that is 

 not often used, and which we do not recommend. Bees will 

 generally fill a middle sized glass quite as soon as one so small 

 as this. 



BELL GLASSES. No. 24. 



These glasses have been 

 introduced by Mr. Taylor, 

 and are recommended as pre- 

 ferable to deep narrow glasses. 

 The drawings will show 

 that they are straight at the 

 sides, flat at the top inside, with a knob outside to take hold by, 

 through which is an g inch opening to admit a ventilating tube. 



The larger is 6 inches deep, 12 inches wide; smaller 5 inches 

 deep, 91 inches wide.
