. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 3.—The "Golden" Method of Producing- Comb Honey Described. No. BY T- A. GOLDEN. [Continued from page 34.] HAVING in my last article described a new hive and how- constructed, I now take pleasure in presenting a re- modeled description with an illustration of a remodeled hive, showing- the top of the hive and bottom of the super. Now, if you look at the picture, you will notice a strip has been cut from each top side-body. Take a guag-e and mark '4 inch from the top edge of the side-body, and saw down at each end '4 inch, then with a draw-knife shave the ,?4 space off, and tack the fs corner strips on the outside ends of the side-body in place of the inside, as in the new hive : then tack the thin boards on the outside, letting the board be even with the side-body at the bottom, and extend as high as the end-board, or as high as the side-board was before you cut the '4 incli off. Thus you see a '4-inch bee- space is created over the top of the brood-frames, and the is space on the outside of the hive proper. The supers are remodeled the same way, cutting- a strip from the top of the super and letting the outside board ex- tend '4 inch, or as high as the side-bodj'before cutting off the '4 inch. Thus it is a small task to change a hive as made by any factory to the Golden method, and any one desiring can test the Golden method properly. The super bottom here illustrates the tin or sheet-iron apron that the section slats and sepai'ators rest on, and how put on, as previously noted. It also shows tlie side passage- ways, and clincht end-strips previously mentioned, making the '4-inch bee-space over the frames and sections when ]ilaced on. Having- given a full, plain and complete explanation, accompanied by engravings, of my hive both new and re- modeled, and how constructed, in my next I will give a full explanation of my method of manipulation, so that there need be no mistakes bj- those who may feel disposed to te
