1. 140-colony apiary of Burt Schimmoeler, Ft. Jennings, Ohio. Note. shallow extracting-supers (food 

 chambers) painted different color to be sure they are not taken away. 2. Food chambers are tiered up 

 among the supers during the summer. 3. Look like skyscrapers, but they are only extracting-supers 

 being cleaned up after extracting. John Leininger, Ft. Jennings, Ohio, paints the ends of his quadruple 

 winter cases in different colors to prevent drifting. 5. Quadruple winter cases make good storage for 

 packing material during the summer. 6. A row of trees along the roadside causes the bees to fly high 

 when crossing the road as well as forming a good windbreak for winter. 7. An old cover fastened to 

 the front of the winter case prevents drifting. 8. A stake differing in color from the winter case, set 



between the entrances, prevents drifting.
