KOOTENAY HIVE-CASE 



Permanently packed. There are 3 inches 

 of packing below the floor and on all four 

 sides. The flat cover is % inch larger all 

 around than the top of the case, and small 

 triangular blocks nailed in the front corners, 

 inside, raise it and ensure permanent ventila- 

 tion. The stories are all alike, and as supers 

 are put on are added as necessary. In this 

 hive-case the bees are warmer in winter and 

 cooler in summer. When packing for winter 

 all that is necessary is to add the top cover- 

 ing over the frames.
