LETTERS PATENT:
The schedule referred to me in these Letters Patent and making part of the same, containing a description in the words of the said Samuel Morrill, himself of his improvement in the Bee Hive.
To all to whom these presents shall come:
Be it know that I, Samuel Morrill, of Dixfield in the county of Oxford and the State of Maine have invented a new and useful improvement in the Bee Hive and the following is a full and exact description of my said improvement.
I first procure a hive of common dimensions about a foot and a half high and about sixteen inches across the same. I prepare a wooden plate from half an inch to an inch thick of the full size of the inside of the hive so that it may keep in and be confined about five inches from the top of the hive. This plate is perforated with small holes to admit of the bees passing though the same.
I take, common glass tumblers and plant them inverted on the plate having first placed a thin piece of wood on the mouths of each tumbler, perforated with a hole sufficiently large to admit the bees. The hive is prepared with a lid inside on hinges and also sticks in the usual form to support the comb below the wooden plate.
This hive is represented in the drawing accompanying and making part of the description by Fig. 1. Fig. 2 represents the tumbler and the plate covering the mouth.
What I claim as new and of my invention is the use of these tumblers in which to receive the honey and the manner of preparing the partition plate.
Samuel Morrill
