These frames not only serve to hold the section boxes square, but by covering them completely protect them from stains and propolis that are always present when the open top styles are used. THE FRAME. The frame most com- monly used with these hives is what is known as the Hoffman self- spacing, shown' in figure 11. This is built in two sizes, one being 91-8 inches deep for the reg- ular hpe; the other 53-8 inches deep for the shal- low hive or super. These are suspended separately so that the beekeeper may be able to take a hive of bees entirely apart if he desires.

Another hive highly recon±mended by the author, especially in the production of comb honey, is what is called the sectional brood chamber hive, shown in figure 12. This is built up with two or more units of extracting supers, such as are used with the Standard in the production of liquid honey. This hive is especially adapted to localities like our own, where the honey flow is of short duration.
