Thus free access is given to or from any part. B. B.—Brood Body. These are double-walled front and back. Eleven frames may be used for brood-rearing.

No. 2 side slips for outer frames; also a hinged door and a passage entrance dummy for use when the narrow body is used as a nadir. Narrow bodies as supers hold eleven frames and two side slips.

We find plain joints to hive bodies J| most easily worked, but for those who think them necessary, plinths may be used, so that anyone may soon render these 4 hives plain jointed, for the separating of any work storified. The ' Paragon' being square, any en- trance may be shut off by turning round either the honey-board or the bodies used for supers; or if the slip of perforated zinc, accompanying each honey board, is run i
