GLEANINGS IN BEE C U I. T V H E

August, 1920 



Winter Problem Solved by the 

 Hive with an Inner Overcoat . . 



Furnished with Jumbo Depth or Standard Hoffman Frames 



Plan to try out a sample shipiiieiit of these hi\es the coming Winter and bo 

 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 condi- 

 tions. We have many testimonials too numerous to publish. The two Inner Over- 

 coats witli 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 loft in the 

 center of the room without clos('-u]> protection or insulation. If you can eliminate 

 youi' Winter Losses, think what it will mean to you. 



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

 Winter approaclies. Do not fail to try out a samjile siu])ment. Catalog and 

 special circulars sent on request.
