GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



January, 1917 



Protection Hives 



Pi-ice $13.75 for 5 hives, f. o. b. Grand 

 Eapids, Mich. Delivered prices furnished on 

 request. Double wall with air spaces, insula- 

 tion, or packing as you may prefer. Over an 

 inch of space between the outer and inner 

 walls. Total wall space two and a quarter 

 inclies. If you have ever had occasion to 

 spend any time in a building single-boarded, 

 during cold weather, you can appreciate the 

 advantages of double walls. Even with a 

 redhot stove you are freezing on one side and 

 roasting on the other. Double walls relieve 

 this condition and reduce the quantity of 

 fuel necessary. Honey is the fuel, the bee 

 the stove. The life of the bee as well as the 

 stove dejiends on its work; do not burn them 

 out. Send for catalog and special circulars. 

 We are the beehive people. Send us a list of 

 your requirements for 1917 and let us figure 

 with you. Small as well as large orders are 

 wanted. Let us add you to our list of many 

 pleased customers in all parts of the country.

A combined section-press and foundation- 

 fastener of pressed-steel construction. It 

 folds the section and puts in top and bottom 

 starters all at one handling, thus saving a 

 great amount of labor. With top and bot- 

 tom starters the comb is firmly attached to 

 all four sides — a requirement to grade 

 fancv. Increase the value of vour crop by 

 this "method. H. W. Sehultz, of Middletoii, 

 Mich., in writing us says: "Your section- 

 fixer is the best yet; can put up 150 sections 

 per hour with top and bottom starters."
