WINTER PROBLEM SOLVED 



Woodman's Improved Protection Hive 



"THE HIVE WITH AN INNER OVERCOAT" 



100% Perfect Protection by Tests, Winters of 1916-17-18 



The Inner Overcoat Did It 



Without any special preparation we have wintered bees in these hives without 

 loss. It is a joy to see the condition they are in, when compared with other 

 styles of hives and wintering methods. The inner overcoat is telescoped 

 down over the brood nest, in between the outer and inner hive walls, when 

 preparing them for winter. In the spring it is removed and stored away in 

 the K. D. flat. Not more than two minutes are required to pack or unpack 

 a hive by this method. The inner overcoat affords more protection than 

 several inches of ordinary packing material. Send for a special circular show- 

 ing 10 large illustrations. 



Tin Honey Packages 



Sixty-Pound Cans, in cases or in bulk, are being sold by us at prices con- 

 siderably below general market prices. Send us an estimate of your require- 

 ments and let us quote prices. 



Friction Top Pails, any size furnished, and in quantities as you may desire. 

 Send us a list of your requirements and let us quote prices, as we can save you 

 money. The tin can factories are rushed with orders, the tin plate situation 

 is serious and transportation slow, so it will be wise to place your orders early.
