I intend to offer this hive for sale at a very moderate 

 rate : and also to furnish full and complete drawings of 

 every part thereof, to gentlemen residing at a distance, 

 or otherwise, accompanied by a neat pamphlet, giving 

 the most ample details in regard t6 every thing con- 

 nected with it, or pertaining to its construction ; as well 

 as the proper management of bees in this kind of hive — 

 all for the reasonable sum of two dollars, which will 

 entitle the applicant to make as many hives as he may 

 require for his own use. As this book will exist, when 

 the author has past to " that bourne whence no traveller 

 returns," the above remarks apply no longer than it may 

 please God to spare his life. An advertisement will 

 probably accompany each edition of this work, rela- 

 tive to furnishing the before-named hive, or the engra- 

 vings, &c., which may be found at the sequel of the 

 treatise. 



COLLATERAL HIVING, ETC. 



Besides supering and nadiring, there is yet another

 at the sides of the hives, instead of over or under them. 

 The following cut represents a couple of boxes on this 

 plan.
