. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. Aug. 25. 1904. THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 589 is made bee-tight all around, allowing examination or re-filling without dis- turbing the bees at all. Moreover, it is also a time, space, labor, and money saver, and, with very little modifica- tion, can be adapted for use on all kinds of 10-frame, or even 8-frame supers. A half inch cleat nailed on the inside ends of any super will sup- port it, and the other parts of the feeder will fit the super without additional fitting or alteration, provided only that the depth is made to correspond with the depth of the super. The reg- ular hive-cover goes over all, and is both a neat and a necessary protection for the'feed and the feeder. The details for its construction, and the materials required, are as follows : Two end-pieces. 'jx5xl3 inches; 2 side-pieces, '2x4'2xl7; 2 inner side- pieces, '4x4;sxl6; 2 top side-pieces, '4x1'4x17; 2 bottom pieces, '2x6'2Xl7, tongued and grooved together ; and 4 Danzenbaker rivets. Before nailing, take the end-pieces, and at the top edge on each side, cut out a rabbet '^x'2 inch, to receive the " top side-pieces ;" also drive the rivets 2 inches from the sides, and 3 = s inches from the bottom of each end-piece, let- ting the head into the wood (like a screw-head) far enough so that the outer end of the rivet will project at least '4 of an inch to rest on the end cleat of the super. Nail the ends, sides and bottoms together ; you now have a box 14x17, outside measure, S'2 deep at the ends, and 5 deep at the sides. This box must be thoroughly paraffined on the inside, so as to make it perfectly water-tight. The "2 inner- side and top-side pieces " are now nailed together, and fastened into the rabbets prepared to receive them, which will then allow 's of an inch at the bottom of the inner side-pieces for the feed to pass from the body of the feeder into the side chambers for the bees to reach it. Hang this bos into the Danzenbaker
