FLAX BOARD 



Nearly every Beekeerer in a cold climate has nioisture 

 collect on his hive-cover which falls back on the bees and 

 disturbs them very mucli the same as it would you when 

 cold water falls on you when sleeping. 



Flax Board, the best insulating material known, will retain the 

 heat so thert will be no condensation. Hives will be warm and dry; 

 no moisture will collect in the dampest cellar or outdoors. We rec- 

 ommend its use under the cover, but it is valuable over the bottom 

 and on the walls of the hives when the bees are outdoors. 



We can furnish Flax Board Quilts to fit the top of the hive as 

 follows :
