Losses are not always the result 

 of the same cause. The)' may 

 come from starvation; from poor 

 food; from improper prepara- 

 tions; from improper protection; 

 fro;i a cold, wet, or possibly, a 

 po.>rly ventilated cellar, etc, , 

 etc. Successful wintering comes 

 from a proj)er combination of 

 difTerent conditions. For clear, 

 concise, comprehensive conclu- 

 sions upon these all-important 

 points consult "Advanced Bkk 

 Ci'LTL'RE." Five of its thirtv- 

 two cha])ters treat as many dif- 

 ferent phases of the wintering 

 problems.

Is apparent in comb honey when 

 the Van Deusen, flat - bottom 

 foundation is used. This style 

 of foundation allows the making 

 of a more uniform article, hav- 

 ing a z'oy tliiii base, with the 

 surplus wax in the side - walls, 

 where it can be utilized by the 

 bees. Then the bees, in cliang- 

 iu.g the base of the cells to the 

 natural shape, work over the 

 wax to a certain extent; and the 

 result is a comb that can scarcely 

 l)e distinguished from that built 

 wholly by the bees. Being so 

 tb.in, one pound will fill a large 

 number of .sections. 



All the Tiouble of wiring 

 brood frames can be avoided by 

 using the Van Deusen zvired. 



Send for circular; price list, 

 and samples of foundation.
