I Winter Problem Solved | 



I by the Hive with an Inner Overcoat | 



Tlie IS colonies of bees, shown above on the roof of one of our buiklings here 

 in Grand Rapids, wintered 100 per cent perfect or without loss, during the winter 

 of 1918-19. They were brought in by truck over forty miles about November 1st. 

 An attempt was made to feed them, as they were short of stores, but without suc- 

 cess as it was too late and cold. They were transferred from single-walled hives 

 to the Protection Hives. They were left here all w^inter and the winds swept them 

 from all directions. No special preparation was made as to young queens, young 

 bees, feeding, etc. Every sw'arni came out a jirime swarm, with the exception of 

 one that was queenless and dwindled out in May. 



It will pay you to try out a sample shipment of these hives this winter. Send 

 for special circular and catalog.
