Winter Problem Solved 



By Woodman's Improved Protection Hive 



"The Hive With an Inner Overcoat" ^«« ''?^^r%':ir^^^I^rov'^Zf.%'!'^ "^ 



THE INNER OVERCOAT DID IT. Without any sj»tH-ial preparation we have win- 

 tered bees in these hives without loss. It is a joy to see the condition they are in, 

 when compared with other styles or hives and wintering methods. The INNER 

 OVERCOAT is telescoped down over the brood nest, in between the outer and inner 

 hive walls, when preparing them for winter. In the spring it is removed and 

 stored away in the K. D. flat. Not more than two minutes are required to pack or 

 unpack a hive by this method. The INNER OVERCOAT affords more jtrotection 

 than several inches of ordinary packing material. Send for a special circular show 

 ing 10 large illustrations.
