Tuts Hive combines a greater number of valuable characteristics than any other which 
has hitherto been offered to the public. With the protection which it affords against the 
encroachments of the Bee-moth, and the provision which is made for the deposit and recep- 
tion of surplus honey, Bees are managed to the greatest possible advantage. By this ar- 
rangement they are all kept alive and kept at werk, and their propensity to increase and 
to labor furnishes a profit which ought to satisfy the acquisitiveness of any Bee-keeper. 
That system of culture which gives to the Bees the greatest degree of prosperity, and fur- 
nishes at the same time the greatest profit to the keeper, is the ‘best. Tam fully satisfied, 
from many years’ experience in Bee-keeping, that any farmer may pay his entire taxes 
(varying from $50 to $100 per annum) from the net profit of his bees, and with less trouble 
than he can keep one dozen fowls. 
For simplicity of construction, facility of management, and profits resulting from its use, 
this Hive stands unrivalled. Tt receives the unqualified approbation of every Bee- -Keeper 
who uses it. Arrangements are about tobe made for the manufacture and sale of Hives in 
different parts of the United States.

It will beseen in the preface that the subscriber is in the habit of lecturing before various 
Associations, on ‘‘ Bees and Bee-culture.’? There is nothing within the whole range of 
Natural History more interesting to a miscellaneous audience than the peculiar operations 
of the Honey Bee. 
The lecturer illustrates the subject by ample drawings, specimens of cofnb, &c., &c.,in 
connection with a swarm of Bees (which have been domesticated) in full and successful 
operation. Those Literary Associations in different parts of the country which wish for 
his services in this line will address
