This Improvement in the old Langstroth Hive Is exceedingly valuable, as it allows the closest watching of a colony with the greatest ease and comfort. By turning the thumb-screw (L) and opening the movable side (which takes but an instant), frames can be examined, by removing the loose side-board (M), the bottom-board may be cleaned--giving the advantages claimed for a loose bottom-board, without its disadvantages. This Hive is a combination the Langstroth Hive and North Star Hive--as pated June 5, 1877--and, no doubt, will gain universal approbation as soon as its advantages are known. The New Langstroth hive is peculiarly adapted for the production of comb honey--its Honey Rack is the best in use, and is adapted to the use of the Prize Boxes. It holds 18 Prize Boxes, with the separators between them, marked B B in the cut. The wedge (A) holds all with a vise-like grasp. The outer boxes are glassed as they stand on the hive (C C C). By removing the wedge (A) any box may be instantly removed, examined, returned, or replaced by an empty one--the spaces between the rows readily admitting the fingers for that purpose. =SAMPLE NEW LANGSTROTH HIVE=--Nailed, Not Painted.
