Shall We Build Packing Cases for Out-of- 

 door Wintering or use Permanently 

 Backed Winter Hives, Which? 



Milford, Oakland Co., Mich., 



Sept. 16, 1914. 



I am planning on starting another 

 yard, where there is no cellar and not 

 very good ground to build one, so want 

 your advice, if you were starting again 

 would you use the present style Buck- 

 eye Hive or your 4-inch on large win- 

 ter case? I do not care to handle the 

 hives any more than absolutely neces- 

 sary for good care. The yard is to be 

 in a nice piece of scattering woods 

 well protected on north and west and 

 I thought if you advised the Buckeye 

 Hive I might have a Avinter front made 

 something like the drawing below and 

 keep snow out of entrance and danger 

 of melting and freezing blocking the 

 entrance. 



This overhanging entrance could 

 be "hooked on" at the approach of 

 winter and as you can see would not 

 allow ice to form as all melting snow 

 would run off. 



Let me hear from you when con- 

 venient. How about the cost of your 

 "4-inch case?" I mean what does this 

 winter case cost to make? 

 Sincerely, 



Earl F. Townsexd. 

 Milford, Oakland Co., Mich. 



(Answer: — We are very positive 

 that no one would prefer a clumsy 

 double walled hive for out-yard 

 use, after using the single walled 

 hive. There is too much moving" 

 about in outyard work to tolerate 

 such large hives. Then there are 

 many manipulations during summer 

 where the easily handled single 

 walled hive is much superior to any 

 double walled one, no matter how 

 well made. 



No, sir'ee! We had at one time 

 a hundred double walled hives, and 

 when we saw that they were not 

 suited to outyard work, we disposed 

 of them and have since wintered 

 otherwise. No more for us! 



You will find a description of 

 our four colony winter case on an- 

 other page of this number of the 

 Revliew. Ed.)
