WINTER PROBLEM SOLVED 



BY THE 



HIVE WITH AN INNER OVERCOAT 



FURNISHED WITH JUMBO DEPTH OR STANDARD 

 HOFFMAN FRAMES 



Plan to try out a sample shipment of these hives the coming win- 

 ter and be convinced of their efficiency and durability. Our winter's 

 loss the past winter of 1919-20 was less than 5 per cent, and this was 

 due to starvation and poor queens. The bees were confined to the 

 hives without a flight for about 120 days. These hives will winter 

 normal colonies perfectly under the most severe conditions. We have 

 many testimonials, too numerous to publish. The two Inner Over- 

 coats with intervening dead air spaces and inner covering or blankets 

 close up about the brood-nest is what does the trick. A person could 

 have any amount of blankets fastened up on the walls of a room and 

 still freeze to death if left in the center of the room without close up 

 protection or insulation. If you can eliminate your winter loses, think 

 what it will mean to you. 



Order early, as freight is slow and uncertain and will get more 

 serious as winter approaches. Do not fail to try out a sample ship- 

 ment. Catalog and special circulars sent on request.
