 Three points of Excellence: 



QUALITV. 



You can produce better-looking honey, 



QUANTITY. 



You can produce more of it. 



PRICE. 



You can get more per pound for it. 



Special Notice. 



The great popularity of the Danzenbaker hive has brought the shallow brood-fram«.> and the tall 

 plain sections into prominence. It must be remembered that no other hive contains the essential features 

 of the Danzenbaker. The success of this system depends on having everything just right, so you should 

 place your order for the Danzenbaker hive with our main office, or any of. our branches or regular agents. 



What Others Say About the Danzenbaker Hive. 



Ttie A. I. Root Co., Medina, Ohio. 



Dear Sir: — Thoujih rather late in the season. I 

 send you report of my labors in the apiary .the 

 past season and my success with the bees. I 

 started with 44 colonies in the spring and increas- 

 ed to .'i4 colonies. I made that much increase be- 

 cause I had purchased ten Danzenbaker hives to 

 experiment with. I am highly pleased with the 

 experiment. My Danzenbaker hives produced 

 about 33>^ per cent more honey than the eight- 

 frame Dovetailed hives. Bees in this locality 

 have done better than I ever knew them to do 

 before. From my best hive I took off 116 well- 

 fllled sections. My average for the season was 60 

 nice well-filled sections to the colony, spring 

 count. I want to increase next spring to 7.5 or 80 

 all Danzenbaker hives. J. H. McCabgo. 



Arkansas, Nov. 17. 1906. 



[We have permission to quote the following ex- 

 tracts from a private letter, which will show the 

 opinion of a prominent bee-keeper.] 



Dear Sir:— ... I like the closed-end frames 

 so well that I would prefer paying for them even 

 if I could have Hoffman or loose-hanging frames 

 for nothing. I can handle closed-end frames as 

 rapidly as loose-hanging frames, and by proper 

 manipulation very little handling of frames is 

 necessary in this hive after the swarming season: 

 and, as you know, we are not greatly troubled 

 with propolis until after this period, so that the 

 objections put forth by some of the older bee- 

 keepers will not hold out. The Danzenbaker hive 

 has proved so much better for me than the Lang- 

 stroth or Chaff hive that I have discarded all 

 other hives and now use the Danzenbaker hive 

 exclusively. I have fifty of them in use at this 



writing, and expect to increase to 300. I will run 

 one hundred in an out-apiary for extracted honey, 

 as they have proved with me as good run for 

 extracted as for comb honey. . . . It is a won- 

 derful hive, and has many points of merit not 

 found in any other hive on the market. I can tell 

 you more about this hive but have confined my- 

 self strictly to your questions. 



I am a user of the Danzenbaker hive, and can 

 honestly say that I do not believe there is any- 

 thing can equal it in the production of fancy comb 

 honey. I took the first prize on comb honey this 

 fall at our State fair, Trenton, N. J., the honey 

 being in the Danzenbaker sections and off of the 

 Danzenbaker hive. This season white clover 

 gave only a light crop, but I averaged a little over 

 100 lbs. per colony, spring count. 



Stanton, N. J., Dec. 7, 1905. Levi K. Cole. 



Oentlemen: — Let me tell you of the result secur- 

 ed from the three-frame nucleus purchased of 

 you. This was received here May 23d. This was 

 given good care and has made me 64 pounds of 

 surplus honey and will yet have to its credit 

 about 32 pounds more. Is not that good for a 

 " greenhorn "V But it was all on account of the 

 worth of that queen. An experienced bee-man 

 tells me that this was an exceptioally good queen. 

 When he saw the immense swarm busy at work, 

 and was told that only a short time before it was 

 only a small nucleus, he remarked, " Got them of 

 Root, did you not ?" 



I give full credit to Root and the (lueen. I cared 

 for them in a Danzenbaker hive according to 

 Root's advice, and got the usual Root result.
