TESTIMONIALS. 
Dr. Eppy—Dear Sir: I am free to express my opinion of your 
‘“‘ Protective Bee-hive.” The principle upon which you have proceeded 
in its construction, (that of non-intercourse) in reference to the Bee- 
moth, Iregard as correct. Ido not see how itis possible that my Bees 
should ever be injured by the moth so long as I continue to use your 
hives.

Dr. Eppy — Dear Sir: I take great pleasure in recommending 
-to those who are engaged in the culture of Bees, the Hive which you 
have constructed, with a view to protect the Bees from the encroach- 
ments of the Bee-moth. I prefer this Hive, decidedly, to any other 
which I have ever seen. I have used and examined various kinds of 
patent Hives in years past, but I know of no one pattern which protects 
the Bees effectually, as I think yours must, from the Bee-moth. Could 
this Hive be introduced into general use, I feel assured that it would. 
constitute a new and profitable era in the history of Bee-culture.

PiyMoutTaH Co. Farr. — Dr. Eddy had on exhibition a Hive of Bees 
in operation. His Hive was constructed on a very neat and simple 
plan of his own, in such a manner as to effectually prevent, we should 
think, the inroads of that unwelcome and destructive intruder, the Bee- 
moth. — Boston Journal. 
Dr. Eddy, of this place, prides himself in possessing improved Bee- 
Hives, so constructed as to effectually protect the Honey Bee from the 
destructive Bee-moth. The peculiar advantages of this kind of Hive 
have been pointed out to us, and we should judge it to be ali that it is 
represented. Those who have tried it seem to like it— NV. B. Gazette. ©
