HEDDON'S 



Sectional, MerctoieaMe nil Merle Hire, 



Patented September 29th, 1885. 



The hive is plain and simple, containing no loose pieces. It is 

 made in four sections, two for brood and two for surplus; all inter- 

 changeable with each other, and all invertible at will, without the 

 addition or subtraction of any part or piece. 



The experienced apiarist will, at a glance, recognize the immense 

 advantages accruing from the use of such a hive. The construction 

 of one brood chamber in two horizontal, interchangeable and inver- 

 tible sections, is believed to mark a new era in bee-keeping, and is 

 receiving warm endorsements from leading bee-keepers, all over the 

 world. This is not all; with this construction queens can be found 

 immediately, all queen cells removed from a hive, bees shaken from 

 brood or surplus combs,— in fact nearly all necessary manipulation 

 performed without the necessity of moving a comb-frame, and when 

 such removal is necessary, by the turning of two thumb screws, the 

 combs are most readily movable.

 management, see " Success in Bee Culture," price, 50c For the
