It consists of a frame of honey laid over the top of the others, if you have no extras, 

 one can be removed from the brood-nest for the purpose. A 100-pound flour sack is 

 spread over the top and a piece of burlap 34x36 inches is laid over this. The First 

 Inner Overcoat is telescoped down over the brood-nest in between the inner and outer 

 hive walls, the flour sack and burlap being carried down with it. This has the effect 

 of wrapping the brood-nest in a blanket. The Second Inner Overcoat is then tele- 

 scoped down over the first. (The Inner Overcoats are removed in the Spring and 

 stored away in the flat.) This insulates the colony with a Yt inner hive wall, with a 

 flour sack and burlap wrapped about it, two thicknesses of corrugated paper board 

 around the sides and ends and four thicknesses over the top, together with the inter- 

 vening air spaces and the % outer hive wall. The work is done quickly and easily 

 with no litter of packing materials. 



It will pay you to try out a sample shipment this fall. For the next sixty days we 

 will furnish five hives equipped as shown above for $27.50, F. O. B. here.
