WINTERING 



Is the perplexing" problem every beekeeper has to face. It requires 

 much hard work and g-ood facilities to winter in the cellar. Many 

 with but a few colonies do not care to g"0 to the trouble of moving- 

 their bees. Successful wintering on summer stands is what all wish. 

 This depends on the hive. The Danzenbaker hive solves the problem. 

 At half the cost of the chaff hive it has all its advantag^es and many 

 others. As shown by reports of last season, it has no equal. Now 

 is the time to prepare for next season. Avoid last year's failures 

 by ordering the

The following unsolicited letter from 

 Chalou Fowls, the well known beekeeper 

 of Northern Ohio, keeping some 500 colo- 

 nies, is a good argument for the Danzen- 

 baker hive as regards wintering. ''In 

 this vicinity the winter loses will be very 

 heavy; many reporting one-third to one- 

 half dead already. My own loss is heavy, 

 but not as heavy as reported by others. 

 In chaff hives 12 per cent.; in Danzen- 

 baker hives 3 per cent., all on summer 

 stands." l,ater reports are even more 

 favorable to the Danzenbaker hive. 



Mr. S. E. Wiley of Poughkeepsie, N. Y. 

 writes: 'The Danzenbaker hive winters 

 finely, just as well as the chaff hive. 

 Your hive is practicallj' a double-walled 

 hive with closed end frames." 



Mr W. W. I<athrop, of Conn., says: 

 "I think there is nothing like the Danz- 

 enbaker hive for wintering bees out- 

 doors, and for producing fancy comb 

 honey I owe my success to it." 



Mr. Vernon Bert, another extensive 

 beekeeper of Ohio tells us that his bees 

 in Danzenbak hive have wintered 

 much better than all others.
