Winter Problem Solved by the 

 Hive with an Inner Overcoat .... 



NOW FURNISHED WITH JUMBO DEPTH OR STANDARD HOFFMAN 



FRAMES. 



Do you know that E. D. Townsend & Son, two of Michigan's most extensive 

 beekeepers, with their 1,100 colonies of bees, have three yards of Government 

 tenement winter cases that they have discarded? One beekeeper speaks of 

 these tenement winter cases, recommended by the Government, as ice boxes. 

 With their thick walls, they are slow to warm up during an occasional warm day 

 thruout the winter. There are occasions when one cleansing flight will result 

 in successful wintering. Protection Hives with the Inner Overcoat will have 

 bees bright and lively at the entrances during sunshiny but cool days, when not 

 a bee will be in sight at the entra"ees of other hives and styles of winter pack- 

 ing. Think of the saving in expense for cases, time and labor in packing and 

 unpacking, and the simplicity of putting your bees safely into winter quarters 

 with the Protection Hive as compared with the tenement winter case. With this 

 hive you have an efficient, compact, substantial equipment without the litter of 

 packing materials and the inconvenience of having them around. Send for 

 special circular and 1920 catalog.
