KELSEY’S ALTERNATING BEE HIVE, 
Patented May 9, 1846. 
ENTIRELY NEW PRINCIPLE IN THE MANAGEMENT OF 
BEES. 
HMIESE hives, the only ones of real value and utility to farmers 
and others engaged in the culture of bees, now before the pub¬ 
lic, are constructed upon natural principles, and combine the fol¬ 
lowing advantages : The bees are easily hived in them—it never 
becomes necessary to kill off the swarms; honey can at all times 
be taken away when it can be spared by the swarms, or more 
can be added for the sustenance of late ones ; young swarms can 
be taken away at the proper periods, and put into other hives, 
where they go to work without the trouble of swarming or hiving, 
while the main swarms are never disturbed in their operations. 
The swarms are entirely protected from robbery by neighboring 
bees, and from mice and insects ; they can be handled with per¬ 
fect safety, and always living and breeding in new honey comb, 
are kept entirely healthy, and young swarms are always fully 
developed. 
The eggs or embryo of the bee moth, or miller, cannot hatch or 
mature around these hives, and therefore the bees are entirely pro¬ 
tected from the ravages of that destructive enemy, while the al¬ 
ternating principle is such that the bees are kept industrious the 
whole season through, by always having plenty of room to work in. 
Old honey comb cannot accumulate, nor will the bee« “ run out ” 
or “ die off ” in these hives. 
They have been fully tested by actual use, by over three hun¬ 
dred extensive bee culturists, under the direction of the inventor, 
and all the swarms are now and will remain as good as new anu 
young swarms 
Ample directions accompany each hive, giving full instructions 
for the management of bees, which are so simple that any person 
with ordinary capacity and attention cannot fail to be successful 
in their management and culture. 
They are sold very cheap, and all farmers or other persons who 
keep bees, or wish to enter into that profitable culture, will find 
these hives all that can be desired, and are invited to call at the 
American Institute, and S. Mitchell’s, 34 Bank-st. N. Y. city;
