RESULTS FROM THE 
DANZENBAKER HIVE 
IN DELAWARE 
Glasgow, Del., Oct. 2, 1908.

Dear Sirs: 
Yours of September 30 is at hand. If you 
print my Interior article, I suggest that 
under the heading, "The Money in It," 
you change the line, "Year's profit from 
one hive in money," to "Year's profit from 
this first hive in money." 
Because, though that is probably a cor- 
rect estimate, it is a very low one, simply 
because the figure is for a beginner on his 
first hive the first year only. I have lived 
here in Delaware, for example, for nine 
years. Thus far, no year has averaged me 
less than one hundred finished sections 
(Danz.) per colony. In 1907 with only 
three colonies, spring count, I had 501 per- 
fectly finished Danz. sections. This year I 
started with five colonies, and had 515 fin- 
ished sections despite the fact that not a 
pound was finished after June 15th, because 
of the drouth. I believe I would otherwise 
have had 800 or 850. 
Yours sincerely, 
(Rev.) T. Chalmers Potter.
