do not kill bees, nor are they filled with 
propolis as they would be if made on the 
inside of the hive. A and B are respect¬

they are drawn somewhat out of propor¬

The ordinary closed-end frames come to¬ 
gether laterally. The Quinby frames may 
be placed laterally up against each other; 
but the usual practice is to insert them 
from the end of the hive, sliding the end- 
bars past each other. The movement being 
endwise, if it is properly performed, all 
bees that may be on the edge of either of 
the frames will be brushed aside. 
The Quinby frame is a considerable 
departure from the Langstroth principle, 
because the Quinby hive and frame have 
no bee-space back of the end-bars. None is 
needed, for the reason that the combined 
end-bars make the end of the hive; but the 
frame does have a bee-space above the top- 
bars and under the bottom-bars. Without 
the top and bottom bee-space Captain J. 
E. Hetherington could never have Bandied 
3000 colonies as he did in the 60’s, 70’s, and 
80’s on the Quinby frame for years in the
