. Bee culture; or, Successful management of the apiary. Bees. BEE CULTURE. 61 Fig. 36 gives a good illustration of a piece of furniture that will be found very useful in an apiary. It is a stand on which to hang the first frames removed from a hive, when an examination of it is made. It was made by Mr. J. M. Val- entine, who describes it so minutely that one can readily make it. Usually the first frames are leaned against the hive, standing upon the ground, and more or less bees are injured. With this "Stand," they are hungup, entirely out of Fig. 36.— Valentine's Frame Stan

" The uprights are l|-xf, 24 inches high ; a piece 1 inch square runs across the top for a handle to lift it by and to hold the top together. Two inches below the top-bar are hooks on both sides, so as to hang on two frames if desirable. Four inches below the bottom of the frames (when suspended on the hooks) is a shelf 12 inches wide, to which the uprights are nailed. This makes a nice place on which to lay cages, etc. Under this shelf is a drawer 6x8, that draws out on either side, in which I keep a dozen queen cages, a sharp- pointed knife, and a small pair of scissors/' In about 48 hours release the queen upon one of the combs,.
