The wi'iter uses a packing case wliich holds two colon'es at his 'owa aiiia'T- This is made from a dry box because of the greater economy of cost. Two colonies occu. y the same hive stand the year around. Dry leaves are used for, packing. This cheap case is described fully in Pio- ductive Beekeeping. THE HOSHAL WINTER CASE. Mr. A. E. Hoshal of Beamsville, On- tario has a winter case unlike any- thing else which the writer has s;en. This is a single colony case and he uses both metal cases and wood. Soar- ing prices caused by the war make.^ the metal prohibitive just now but the cases whicii he made before the ad- vance in price were very reasonable in co>t. Mr. Ho h 1 uses the Heddon divisible hive and gets good results. The three pictures show how the cases are packed and unpacked with the same material year after year. He uses planer and after the co'ony is unpacked in spring replaces the packing material in the cas? and piles them up against the outbuilding as can be seen in the photo. These cases are very light when made of galvanized iron and if a good quality of material is used will fast for many years. Mr. Hoshal is an extensive producer and has every- thing arranged so that he can pack or unpack his colonies in a minimum of time. The first picture shows the light lifting irons by means of which he lifts the case onto the sliect whicli is to catch the packing material. The next one shows the case on the sheet ready to be unpacked. The third
