Collector Dave Kurns wants to hear from anyone with a CD 145 Brookfield beehive like this one. What's odd about it? Take a close look at the girth of the dome just above the wire groove. It's noticeably larger in circumference than other Brookfield beehives. Was the design intentional to make rain water drip over the top of the line wire? Or, was it a mix up at the factory? Did Brookfield put the dome of another style insulator on the base of a beehive? Perhaps a signal?

Dave says no one he's asked about it reports having seen another one. What about it? Anyone with comments about this top heavy beehive? Write us here at Crown Jewels.
