Gentlemen:— I saw in a recent issue of your paper 

 that you have a department .called "Reports Encourag- 

 ing." I shall send you mv report. 



I use the Danzenbaker hiv and will give you report 

 of the same, as the few dovetailed hives that I use do 

 not compare at all with the Danzenbaker. One colony 

 gave me over one hundred pounds No. 1 white honey 

 and the rest averaged about sixty, with an increase by 

 natural swarming of one hundred per cent. A friend 

 of mine who uses all sorts and kinds of hives m his 

 apiary succeeded in making scarcely enough honey to 

 pay for the foundation used in the sections. This was 

 about two miles from ray apiary. Long live the Dan- 

 zenbaker hive ! . It is just the thing for this locality. 

 Yours truly, 



J. B. HOLLOPETER. 



Mallet Creek, O., Sept. 25, 1902. 

 I have now 2.50 colonies of bees, of which 170 are in 

 the Danzenbaker hives, and shall have all my bees in 

 Danzenbaker hives next spring. During this past poor 

 season 30 or 40 of the colonies in the Danzenbaker 

 hives gave over 100 lbs. surplus. On the average I get 

 more than double the amount of honey from these 

 colonies that I do from those in the old chaff hives. 

 With a 7-inch telescopic cover, the Danzenbaker hive 

 winters the bees better than the chaff hives.

I have used both square and tall sections in all my 

 apiaries five years, and know from practical experi- 

 ence that it will pay to discard the 4Ji sections, and 

 use only 4x.5 sections, and the Danzenbaker hive with 

 the fence separator. They have made enough more 

 this season in the same yard to pay for the hives. I 

 have made more money this season per hive than I 

 have any previous year in my 15 years of bee-keeping. 

 Fifteen of my strongest Danzenbaker hives made me 

 a ton of honey. When it comes to sales I get more 

 for the 4x5 sections, and have no work in cleaning 

 them I ship them as I take them from the super. 

 This is not the case with the 4^ section. I make 

 honey to sell, and anything that sells the best and for 

 the most money is what I want out of the bee- 

 business. S. D. Matthews.

I have run my hives largely with the Danzenbaker 

 sections this year, and shall increase my facilities for 

 the Danzenbaker output next year. I sold all my 

 fancy clover in Danzenbaker sections, glazed, to two 

 fancy grocers in New York, at 20 cts. a section; were 

 retailed at 25 cts. each. My4}i sections, unglazed. sold 

 to grocers at 12^ to 13 cts., retailing IB cts. I fur- 

 nished cartons with the 4'<, which cost nearly as 

 much as glass. B. F Onderdonk.

NOTICE. 



Rock Valley, N. Y, Feb. 22, 1901. 



My bees gathered no surplus after July 1. I had 

 only 1200 lbs., but I obtained a fancy price— 15 J4 for 

 " Fancy " and No. 1 white, and 14^ for No. 2 here at 

 my station for all the Danzenlsaker 4x5 plain sections, 

 used on your hives, while I got only 14 and 13 cts. per 

 lb. for the 4j^x4j^ square sections, and I consider tbat 

 much difference is worth looking after— don't you? 

 The Danzenbaker hives doubled up, two brood-cham- 

 bers, are in fine condition, even better than my double- 

 walled hives. I intend to build a bee-cellar and work 

 off my double-walled hives as fast as I can, and get 

 the Danzenbaker hives. Very truly j-ours, 



J. I^. Haight. 



It is not claimed that so large an advance in price as 

 is mentioned above can usually be obtained for honey 

 in Danzenbaker sections, but because it is more uni- 

 formly fancy grade, and of general better appearance 

 it command's the highest prices and a more ready sale 

 in a dull market than ordinary honey. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 3, 1904. 

 The A. I. Root Co., Medina, O. 



Dear Sirs;- Please ship to me as soon as convenient: 

 500 Danzy. 4DWM hives. Yours, 



Walter S. Pouder. 

 (This is in addition to all other orders.) 



Mr. Danzenbaker's little book, "Facts About Bees," 

 containing 70 pages, giving full particulars regarding 

 this hive and system, is indeed full of facts. If one 

 follows the directions clear through, he is sure to pro- 

 duce a strictly first-class article of comb honey, pro- 

 viding of course there is any honey to be had. This 

 imigue little book will be sent free to all who apply 

 for It. 



Bee-keepers are raising honey for the money there 

 is in it, or for the pleasure they get out of it. It is 

 conceded by all who have tried this system that it is 

 highly profitable. Reading over letters from the 

 users of this hive who tell of securing large crops of 

 honey almost free from propolis makes us think that 

 the bee-keeper who is in the business for pleasure 

 would be highly gratified with the hive also. What is 

 more satisfying than to take off well-filled supers of 

 snow-white sections free from the propolis that is 

 so often found on sections in cases that are poorly 

 constructed and adapted for the production of a fancy 

 article? ' 



The great popularity of the Danzenbaker hive has 

 brought the shallow brood-frame and the tall plain 

 sections into prominence. It must be remembered 

 that no other hive contains the essential features of 

 the Danzenbaker. Thesuccessof this system depends 

 on having ever>'thing just right, so you should place 

 your order for the Danzenbaker hive with our main 

 office, or any of our branches or regular agents.
