In many sections the permanently packed hive is loolvcd upon 

 with favor. It has the advantage of requiring no extra labor for 

 winter protection except additional packing on the top. J. T. 

 Dunn, of Ontario, packs his double-walled hive with cork chips 

 instead of the usual chaff, and reports exceptional success. 



Objections advanced to it are that it is cumbersome to move, 

 and heavy to lift. It only has two inches of packing all around 

 while recommendations are usually for six to eight inches. Often 

 no provision is made for bottom packing. 



Yet in regions where limited packing is desired, this chaff- 

 packed hive winters with success. It is more to be desired where 

 the apiary is permanent and little moving necessary. 



Single colony outer cases have the advantage that they usualh' 

 provide for heavier packing, and may be removed when desired. 

 But they also entail added equipment for the outyard. 



Fig. 31. The quadruple case is best in colder latitudes where an out-door 

 wintering system is desired.
