AVe should also have to have the pro-jecting arms of the metal corners shortenough to go into the hive, for I hardly needtell you that the space between the en<ls oftlie frames and the end of the hive shouldnot exceed I of an incli; therefore theseprojections of the metal corners can not wellbe more than i inch in length.

When nailed securely it leaves aprojecting edge of the iron t inch wide,reaching into the hive, and upward, so as tojust catch the arms to this corner.
