orate increase of bees with the largest, possible amount of surplus 
honey. The size of tho frames and boxes is the same as for 
hive No. 1 so that the frames or boxes can be used in either 
hive. The size of the hive is nearly double that of hive No. 1, 
has all the features heretofore described, and is, in addition, ar- 
ranged with box room in the entire rear of tire hive, into which 
the bees can enter direct from any frame in the hive. It is also 
arranged to hold four more frames than No. 1, and a movable 
close-fitting division board, so that a swarm may bo coutiued to 
an appropriate amount of space, and as the stock increases more 
room can be given by moving the division board. Or the hive 
can be arranged to hold two separate swarms; also to hold an 
extra large colony, giving all the frames, and extract the honey 
with the “Extractor,” from either the upper or lower frames. 
If box honey only is desired, boxes can be arranged on the side, 
as shown in tho cut, in addition to the rear and top boxes. 
The above cut shows as having three boxes removed from the 
side, three boxes from the rear, and eight boxes from the top. 
HIVE No. 3. 
This is composed of two equal stories, each holding twelve 
frames and J^close fitting space board. The hivo differs from the 
other styles of the Champion hives, in not being side opening, 
having frames of two inches less height, and a side space board. 
By first removing this space board, room is made on one side of 
the frames so as to admit of moving them apart before lifting them 
out at the top. Each story may be used as a separate hive, or as 
breeding or surplus honey apartment; is especially designed to be 
used in connection with tho Honey Extractor, but either part may 
be furnished with boxes at the option of the bee-keeper. 
IIIVE No. 4. — DOUBLE-SIDED, 
To meet tho wants of those bee keepers who are so located as 
to expose their bees to the direct rays of tho scorching summer 
sun, or tho freezing northwest wind of our northern climate, we 
construct a double-sided hive, by making the end pieces of frames 
as well as the tops, wide enough to fit to each other through their 
entire longtli. A thin board is inserted on each side, between the 
frames and (he case, and the hivo is thus mado double-sided with 
air space around the entire colony. Thus constructed, neither 
the sun nor the cold wind of a severe whiter will affect the in- 
terior of the hive.
