WINTER PROBLEM SOLVED 



—BY THE - 



HIVE WITH AN INNER OVERCOAT 



Furnished with Jumbo depth or Standard Hoffman Frames. 

 In your purchase of hives for the coming season, consider the fact 

 that if well taken care of, they should last a life time. A life time 

 matter is a serious one and nothing but the best that money can buy 

 should have your consideration. The Hive with an Inner Overcoat is 

 the best on the market as to material, workmanship, and efficiency. 

 The outside wall is made of % material, the best for the pur- 

 pose. Any extra cost over ordinary hives, spread over its life time, is 

 very low. The saving in bees in a single winter, may more than pay 

 for the entire investment. Winter losses in ordinary hives during the 

 winter of 1919-20, in many cases, were 75 per cent, or more. What a 

 tremendous loss. The Hive with an Inner Overcoat will winter 

 normal colonies, without loss.

 list of your requirements for the coming season.
