Lately, however, metal ends in one form or another have come into use, but their shape is such that a frame furnished with them could not be conveniently used in a hive where there are no such ends used. The ordinary cast-metal end is so thick on the under side of the top bar, that the rabbet on which it slides has to be cut deeper to accommodate it; and if a frame with- out these ends be used, it necessarily stands be- low the level of the top of the hive at least an •Jth of an inch, and is brought so much closer to the bottom board. Another ob- jection to them is that the distance between the frames is fixed, and they could not be brought closer together. The new metal end which we have before us gets over these D.
