GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

The Danzenbaker 

 Comb-honey Hive 



MORE HONEY 



The construction of the hive is such that the bee-keeper can easily produce a larger 

 surplus of comb honey per hive, for the bees are not inclined to loaf during the early 

 flow, but get more promptly at work at the right time. 



BETTER HONEY 



The claim made for this hive, that it produces better honey, has never been success- 

 fully contradicted. True, an expert may with other hives get a result approximately 

 equal to the Danz. results; but hundreds of letters received show that the DANZEN- 

 BAKER HIVE, in the hands of the average bee-keeper, produces more fancy surplus 

 comb honey than any other hive. 



MORE MONEY 



This statement is easily verified. Fancy comb honey is always in demand, and espe- 

 cially in Danz. sections. A crop of fancy honey on an ordinary market always brings 

 more money; and on a poor market the fancy honey will sell while the other grades 

 have to be shaded to find a buyer. The following unsolicited letter verifies the state- 

 ment. 



St. Joseph, Mich., Sept. 26, 1908. 

 I have 112 colonies, all in Danz. hives with the exception of ten; and they will go into the regular Danz. body in the 

 spring. The regular Danz. hive, with the right management, is the best combination in the world for comb honey. I let 

 the " big-hive " men laugh; but when we go to market their product is no competition to mine. The dealers say to them, 

 " If yours is as good as Hall's, bring it in and we'll take it." And it is ALL in the form and management of the HIVE.

Central Sta., W. Va., Rt. 1, box 33, August 5, 1908. 

 Another season of the fullest success with the Danzenbaker hive. If any one wanted to transfer my bees into other 

 hives, he could not do it for $5.00 each. Yours for success, B. O. Elefritz. 



Akron, Ohio, Sept. 25, 1908. 



I now have quite a few colonies of bees on Dinz. frames, and the result has been very satisfactory. For 

 this locality they are certainly far superior to the Hoffman frames. I am taking off honey from the late flow (heartsease, 

 boneset, and aster), and supers on Danz. hives are well filled, in most instances with very little burr comb; while those 

 containing Hoffman frames, burr combs are built between supers and frames so that it is necessary to pry and cut off the burr 

 combs before placing escape-board. 



Bees seemed to be inclined to swarm on Danz. frames more readily, or, rather, made preparations to, but I have dis- 

 covered a method wherein I can control them very easily. By another season I am in hopes to have my entire outyard 

 equipped with Danz. frames. 



Having adopted the Danz. hive through your suggestion, I therefore feel it my duty to give you this report. 



Yours truly, A. J. Halter. 



Now is the time to make a trial order for these hives if you have not yet tried them. The 

 workmanship is the best; the quality is the best, and the results are sure.

Accept no substitute. The results accomplished by the Danzenbaker hive are generally 

 equaled by no other.
