The Danzen baker Hive. 



THIS HIVE is rapidly g-aining- favor, es- 

 pecially in the Eastern States, where 

 tall sections and closed-end frames are 

 used to a considerable extent; and within 

 the last year or so the Danzenbaker system 

 has been working its way into California, 

 Oregon, and even into Cuba. At the Paris 

 Exposition the hive was awarded a gold 

 medal, and at some of the honey exhibits in 

 this country the comb honey from it has 

 carried off the first prize. Some of the finest 

 honey we have ever seen was produced in 

 Danzenbaker sections; and in the opinion of 

 those who have given the hive and system 

 an extended trial, there is nothing to equal 

 it for the production of a fine article of comb 

 honey. Indeed, in some markets comb honey 

 in Danz. sections commands one and some- 

 times two cents more per pound than other 

 iancy honey. 



Mr. Danzenbaker has long been an advo- 

 cate of warm supers and warm hives; for he 

 has always insisted that, for the production 

 of comb honey, the super and hive must be warm in order to do the best work in wax-building. To 

 a very great extent the Danzenbaker hive is double-walled; and the sections in the super are espe- 

 cially protected bv a special paraffine mat which goes with every hive. 



~jThe brood-chamber itself has the same 

 dimensions as the regular 10-frame Dove- 

 tailed Langstroth hive, except that it is 

 shallow; that is, it takes 10 closed-end 

 brood-frames 'il4 inches deep and IT inches 

 long. Each brood frame is supported by a 

 pivot in the center of the end-bars, so that 

 It may be readily reverst. These brood- 

 frames retain all the advantages of frames 

 peculiar to this class; viz., being reversible, 

 they insure the building of combs to the 

 boltom-bar; as there is no opportunities for 

 air-currents around the ends of the frames, 

 combs, as a rule, are built clear out to the 

 eud bars. This one feature makes them 

 warmer for winter. When a division-board 

 is used on each side we have, practically, a 

 dead-air space around the ends and sides of 

 the brood nest. 



The Danz. breod-nest has the same 

 capacity as the S-f rame Dov. hive— a capac- 

 ity that has generally been recognized as 

 the best for the production of comb honey. 

 But Mr. Danzenbaker has gone further by making his brood-nest shallower and wider— increasing 

 the amount of surface for the super, and bringing the brood itself—a feature which many consider 

 important — closer to the surplus. 



The Danzenbaker brood-chamber can be used with any of our 10-frame supers, either comb or 

 extracted; with any of the lO-frame covers, bottoms, or hive-stands, or with the 10-frame Jumbo 

 hive. There are four patents on the Danz. hives and fixtures. 



NOTICE.— The Danzenbaker hive is not made in the 8-frame widths.
