 cluster.

DOOLITTLE DIVISION BOAKD FBEDEK. 



The Doolittle division board feeder is made in the shape

 the top of the feed .given.

THE MILLER TEEDEB. 



The Miller feeder is placed over the combs in the same 

 manner as a super. It places the feed well in reach of the 

 bees. Numerous other feeders have been devised and all 

 have some good points.
