56 BEE-CULTURE. 
Dr. Eppy— Dear Sir: Iam highly pleased with your “ Protec- 
tive Bee-hive. I think it is what it claims to be— protection against 
the Bee-moth. At least I have never seen any kind of hive so good for 
this purpose. I say this after being engaged somewhat extensively in 
the culture of Bees for about forty years, during which time I have 
used and examined a great variety of patent Hives. I wish you suc- 
cess in introducing it into general use.

PiymovutsH Co. Farr.— Dr. Henry Eddy, of North Bridgewater, 
exhibited a Hive of Bees at work in one of his ‘ Protective Bee-hives.” 
This hive seems to be, and is considered, by good judges, an effectual 
protection against the Bee-moth. It is very simple, and cheap also, in 
its construction. Weunderstand the doctor has a great demand for 
his Hives. — Traveiler. 
Mercuanics’ Farr AT FANEvUIL HALu. — THE PROTECTIVE BEE- 
Hirve.— This is one of the late contributions at the fair, made by 
Henry Eddy, M. D., of North Bridgewater, by which not only the 
model of the Hive is exhibited, but the Bees are there at work. ‘The 
peculiarity of this Hive is, that it effectually intercepts, or cuts off the 
animal heat of the Bees, by which, in ordinary Hives, the eggs of the 
Bee-moth are hatched. Itis very simple in its construction, and has been 
so far tested, as to prove that it can be relied on as a perfect protec- 
tion against the moth, which usually is so great a pillager in ordinary 
Hives. It has been examined and highly approved by Dr. J. V. C. 
Smith, of this city, who has given much attention to the culture and 
management of Bees. — 10.

Dr. Henry Eddy, of North Bridgewater, exhibited a Hive of Bees, 
with the honey, together with a sample Hive. The Committee con- _ 
sider this the best model for a hive they have ever noticed. — Bristol
