The packing eases are still on. Mr. Bishop is one of a group of beekeep- ers whom I designate as "paper pack- ; They use what is known as the Schmidt packing case, which al- lows for no packing underneath, ex- cept a few sheets of tar paper, only 3 inches around the hive with 6 or 8 inches on top. They leave the cov- ers sealed on. The hive is wrapped in paper, usually 6 to 10 ply, and the packing material is loose planer shav- ings. This method seems to be very sucessful in the hands of beekeepers.
