Without taking into con- sideration the desirability of conforming to a standard size, would an eight-frame hive hav- ing frames of the Langstroth length and 11% inches deep, be better than an ordinary eight- frame hive ? 2. If so, why ? and if not, why not ? 3. Would it be better than a ten-frame Langstroth hive ? 4. If so, why ? and if not, why not? 5.

If there were no standard, what would you consider the best depth for a frame of Langstroth length, and how many of them should be in a hive, if the frames are all in one story ?—Colo. I am not prepared to answer these questions.—M. Mahin. I don't know. I'm open to conviction all around.—C. C. Miller. In my out-aplary I use a 10-frame Langstroth hive, and consider it next best to the Gallup frame.—G. M. Doo- LITTLE. I have always used the Langstroth frame, eight to a hive, and have had no experience with any oiher.—Mks. L. Haerison. 2. Too deep for best results in comb honey. 3. No. 4. Same reasons as above. 5. Regular standard 10 frames. —S. I. Freeborn. 1. I should not prefer it. 2. Too deep. 3. No. 4. Too deep. 5. A frame of the Langstroth size, and 9 or 10 to the hive.—J. P. H. Brown. 1 and 2. Better for winter, and not so good for section honey. 8. Better for winter, and for all purposes quite likely as good as any.—P. H. Elwood. 1. No. 2. Because I would rather make the Langstroth frame shallower than deeper. 3. No. 4. Because it would be too deep. 5. About l}i inches, 10 frames to the hive, would be the best for honey-production, I think.—J. A. Green. 1. No. 2. Because you could get no better results, and it would cost more. 3. No. 4. You could get no extra re- sults. 5. Just as now made—8.—B. Taylor. 1. Yes, I think so. 2. Because it would give more comb surface. 3 and 4. I don't know. 5. I prefer the standard Langstroth frame with 10 in a hive. W. G. La
