. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. through the end bar and a hook turned on the end. This should be done before the frame is put together, and for com- fort in working, and also to secure regu- larity in the distance the nails are apart, ;i nailing block, Fig. 1, should be made. As shown, the length is 9Ain., width 2^in., thickness 2in. A .slip of wood jin. thick and lin. in width is nailed on one side and across one end to form a stop. Two holes are then bored in the block lin. in diameter and l^in. from tlie centre to the end of block and up to the stop. A third hole 4in. from centre to stop will make the block so that it can be used for either brood or shallow frames. The end bar of the frame is laid on the block, as shown at Fig. 2, and a nail driven through at the centre of each of the two end holes. The holes in the ])lock allow the nail to pass through without fasten- ing the bar to the material underneath which would be the case if it were laid flat on the bench. Havintr driven the nails in position, the round-nosed pliers, ^ ^ y^" 2". ^ FIG. 2. inventions are not at all suitable for the purpose for which they are intended. Frames should always be bought in the flat, as they are less bulky in transit and for storing, so that a good supply can be kept on hand, as they occupy very little room. The mode of fastening the Avire is by means of four verv fine wire nails driven FIG. 3. Fig. 3, are used to turn the nail into a hook, as shown at Fig. 4. The hooks should be turned outwards towards the end of the bar; it will be seen that the more strain is put upon the hook the tighter it will hold, on account of the head of the nail being on the other side. This is much better than using the small brass hooks to screw in, sold for tlie pur- pose, as they pull out very easily when strain is put upon them. If the nails have to be put through after the frame is made care should be taken to hold it so that the end bar being nailed is solid :
