. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. Tmm JiMUKicar* mmm jO'^fsmmmi^. 141 who had, but all will have some if they neglect to give theii- bees the surplus room whieli the honey-tiow demamls. Every adverse report which I have heard, has resulted directly from im- proper construction or manipulation of the hives ; usually the former. The hive and system are entirely new. Reports Wanted. Now, Mr. Editor, it seems that there is no longer any worthy dispute as to who is the inventor of the hive in question ; and with regard to the value of it, would it not be desirable to test its use practically, and call for a brief report of the actual experience of those who have used them ? As I am now issuing a weekly paper, I know the value of " space," much better than formerly, and that the an- swers may be short (of few words) I would suggest the following questions, each to be answered with a word or two, and only by those who have used the hive in question ; 1. How many hives have you used, and for how many seasons ? 2. Who made the hives, and from what pattern ? 3. What style of hive do you now prefer, all things considered ? Dowagiac, Mich. [As the hive in question has been adversely mentioned in the report of the Ohio Convention, and as both it and the system of management are new, it will be in the interest of the pursuit to let those report briefly, as suggested, who have tested it. Let the replies to the above questions be brief and to the point, or else we can- not promise to give space to this mat- ter. Send all the Reports to this oflSce direct.—Ed.] COi\VEI\TIOX DIRECTORY.
