The Root Observatory Hive 



To meet the increasing demand for a moderate-priced Observatory 

 Hive, for use in schools and homes, we have decided to manufacture 

 the style illustrated herewith. This hive Is identical with our regular, 

 with the exception of the body and super sides, which are fitted with 

 glass, together with wooden shutters for closing the hive while not 

 observing. This hive permits the lieeping of a regular colony of bees 

 in a normal condition so that every phase of bee-keeping may be 

 studied.
