For the convenience of those who do not get the idea at once, we submit the follo\ring diagram. Also see enera^^ng on front r^•^^^r^^ MBTALCOEITER, AND ITS POSITION IN THE HIVB. The engraving is full size. The % board B is supposed to be the end of the hive. A is a section of the metal rab- bet, and C is the comer, raised a little from its place as it rests on the rabbet. The space E, between the frame and the end of the hive, should be about % of an inch, as explained below. F .shows the l)evel and shoulder, shown on front cover, and also under section boxes; this is to prevent wind or rain from getting through, when the hives or covers are piled up two or more stories high. It will be observed that the frame is supported entirely on knife edies crossmg each other at right angles, making it impossible for the bees to wax the frame fast, and al- most impossible for you to pnich a bee in putting the frame down, even if you take no pains at all, to get them out of the way. We prefer to have the tin rabbet reach up above the end of the corner C, because the bees are so much less disposed to try to propolize the bright tin; also when replacing the frames, the corner arms glide smoothly into place as soon as they strike the rabbet.
