PROTECTION HIVES 



I'rice, In 75 for five hives, lu 00 without out 

 side rims. f. o. b. Grand Rapids. J15.00 for five 

 with rims delivered to any point in the U. S. A. 

 north of the Ohio and east of the Mississippi 

 Rivers Double wall with air spaces, insulation 

 orpackingas you may prefer. If you have had 

 occasion to spend any time in a buildine single 

 boarded during' cold weather, you can appre- 

 ciate the advantages of double walls. Single 

 wall iiives often do not provide sufficient pro- 

 tection during brood-rearing in the spring. 



An apiary of single wall hives was visited 

 during fruit bloom, the weather was cool and 

 and no bees flying. Old newspapers were called 

 for and the wrapping of the hives was about 

 half completed when there was an interrup- 

 tion. Returning again in the course of an hour 

 or so. it was found that the bees in the wrapped 

 hive! were flying freely, while those that were 

 not. still remained inside the hives. It is rea- 

 sonable to conclude that if 20.000 bees were 

 required to keep up the temperature, that 5000 

 were released for field and other dutybylhe 

 added protection given. Protection Hives cost 

 only about $1.00 more than single wall hives and 

 are well worth the extra cost, which may be 

 more than made up ina single season. Send for 

 a special circular— 16 large illustrations.

SE!CTION FIXER 



A combined section press and founda- 

 tion fastener of pressed steel construction. 

 It folds the section and puts in top and 

 bottom starters all at one handling, thus 

 saving a great amount of labor. With the 

 lop and bottom starters the comb is firmly 

 attached to all four sides, a requirement 

 to grade fancy. Increase the value of 

 your crop by this method. 



H. W. Schultz, of Middleton, Mich., in 

 writing us says : "Your Section Fixer is 

 the best yet; can put up 150 sections per 

 hour with top and bottom starters." 

 Price with lamp $2.75. Shipping weight 

 5 lbs. Postage extra. Send for special 

 circular, fully describing this machine.

TIN HONEY PACKAGES 



A local wholesale house secured a carload of tin plate in September that was prom- 

 ised for April. Conditions are now even worse. When it is necessary to order tin plate a 

 year or more in advance of the time it is wanted for use. advances in prices must be ex- 

 pected. The highest bidder will get the stock. 



Freight at this time is very slow and uncertain. Prices are liable to advance. It would 



be a wise thing to secure your packages for the 1917 crop. Our three-year contract is giving 



us some advantage over general market quotations. Send jis a list of your requirements at 



once; our prices may have to be advanced again on March 20. We can supply the following: 



60-polind cans, on* and two in a case
