NEW AMERICAN BEE-HIVE: 



No. 1. 



No. 2. 



No. 1 represents the main body or breeding apartment. No. 2 repre, 

 sents the double tier of four honey-boxes, each one of which is composed 

 of seven two pound sections. This hive contains nine regular 12x12 

 American frames. The cover (not shown in the engraving) is arranged 

 so as to slip down over the body of the hive, making a double wall for 

 wintering. It also reduces the bulk of the hive so much that the rail- 

 road companies charge but one-half the usual freight rates. The double 

 tier of boxes fit exactly inside the brood frames, and when the cover 

 is slipped down, it is almost as compact as when shipped as material.
