GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

Hilton's Chaff Hive 



fortifies your colonies against sudden changes of 

 weather in spring and fall. Only a little extra 

 work necessary to change them for winter, and 

 make them frost-proof. This work can be put 

 over until late in November or December, after 

 the busy time at this season of the year. 



The double cover with ventilators enables 

 the bees to continue work in supers during the 

 intense heat of summer, where the hives, of 

 necessity, are exposed to the sun during the mid- 

 dle of the day. Ask for copy of report from 

 Michigan Agricultural College, regarding "Dou- 

 ble v. Single Walled Hives." 



A large part of many apiarists' time is con- 

 sumed in shifting from winter to summer, and 

 summer to winter quarters, which could be well 

 spent in caring for a larger number of colonies. 

 This is overcome by using Hilton's Chaff Hive.
