72 THE BEE-KEEPER’S MANUAL. 
“Tf a straw cover to a super is preferred, it can 
stand over the rim of the shade, as seen in the 
illustration annexed [see last page]. 
‘‘An effectual protection to a round hive may be 
made by means of an outer case, in fact merely a straw 
Q cylinder, with open ends. It 
—— must in diameter be large 
—  -~—so enough to drop loosely over the 
hive, and rest on the floor- 
board. The height ought to 
be sufficient to include any 
supers that may be required. 
Surmounting the whole, either 
one of the zine covers, shown 
«,. at page 70, of an enlarged size, 
can be used; or the shade and 
its top, as seen at page 71.” Of course any of the 
more modern kinds could equally well be applied. 
The annexed figure exhibits the 
position of the super as explained in 
the note on page 70. It need 
not be so small as here represented, 
but the rim on the shade must be 
adapted to its size. Enclosing it 
will stand the super-cover, and the 
whole then present the appearance 
of the storified hive on page 71. 
It will ai once be seen that shades of this description 
will interfere with the extra rim of straw at the 
edge.
