. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. DESIGNED BY MR. C. W. SMITH, OF TOTTERIDGE, HERTS. /^~'OMBINES all the principal advantages of the best bar frame hives known, %\-ith those of the far-famed Stewartons. A hive may consists of one, two, or three stock boxes, and a honey box. The stock boxes are fifteen inches stiuare, and six inches in depth. The honey box is but four inches deeji. Each stock box is furnished with nine moveable wedge-shaped bar frames, guides, windows front and l^ack, &c. The honey box contains seven wide bars for honey cells, the spaces between the bars being fitted with slides, like the octagonal Stewartons. A crown board having slots and slides of the same guage as those in the honey box is provided, but is reversible, so as to suit the advocates of a close fitting lid, or those who jirefer a quarter inch sjiace above the bar frajncs. The stock boxes can be used separately or together, according to the strength of swarms. Each box will be large enough for an ordinary s-.\arm the first year, the honey box being placed thereon when the stock box is nearly filled. Carr, or Neighbour, will find that the Carr . Boxes form splendid bar frame supers. A second stock box should be added the next year. Bee keepers who are using other forms of hive, such as the Woodbury, With this hive stocks and swarms can be united, or artificial swarms made with the greatest ease ; and in summer or winter every stock in the apiary may be properly aided by telescopic expansion or contraction of space, any degree of warmth needful being maintained.
