I shall only describe the hive in brief, advising all who wish to investigate this new comer, to procure Mr. Hed- don's new work, "Success in Bee-Culture," as this will be an excellent investment aside from the matter of the hive. This hive (Fig. 66') has close-fitting frames fastened in a case by use of wooden thumb screws; The end bars of the frames are wide like the Huber hives, and rest on tin supports. The top and bottom bars of the hives are only as wide as the natural comb. T
. The bee-keeper's guide : or Manual of the apiary . Bee culture; Bees. igo The Shuck Invertible Hive. I shall only describe the hive in brief, advising all who wish to investigate this new comer, to procure Mr. Hed- don's new work, "Success in Bee-Culture," as this will be an excellent investment aside from the matter of the hive. This hive (Fig. 66') has close-fitting frames fastened in a case by use of wooden thumb screws; The end bars of the frames are wide like the Huber hives, and rest on tin supports. The top and bottom bars of the hives are only as wide as the natural comb. The frames are only five and three-eighths (5?^) inches deep, and this with the wide Fig. Heddon Bottoiti Board, spaces between them makes it possible to do much without removing the frames. There is a three-eighths inch space above the frames, and a honey board as in the Heddon- Langstroth hive. Thus one or two shallow hives can be used, and to con- tract the brood chamber at any time we have only to remove one of them. Figure 66 shows the hive which with two brood chambers gives about the capacity of a ten-framed Langstroth hive. As all frames are securely held by the screws, any brood chamber can be reversed, or any two can change places at the pleasure of the bee- keeper. As the combs will all be firmly attached on all sides to the frames, there is no space for hiding and the queen can generally be found without removing the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Cook, Albert John, 1842-1916.
