In oth-er words, Mr. Aspinwall spreads his brood- nest by increasing the space between eachframe one inch instead of the ordinary reg-ular bee-space. Of course, this inch spacewould be tilled with brace comb were it notfor the slats bee-spaced apart on a perpen-dicular line, the edges being next to thebrood itself. It is because of this clustering-space between the frames, and because beeshave more room through which they maypass up into the supers, according to the in-ventor, that all possible swarming is re-.
