. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. packed in these cases in the rear of the factory. The bees from the var- ious outyards had bi^en brought in and packed at tl e h ;me apiary where it was more convenient to pack all together rather than to prepare them for winter in small yards.

While the case is so large that it is heavy and rath'.>r inconvenient to handle it is still the most popular winter case in use. THE KROtlSE SINGLE COLONY CASE. Another case that is to be found in several localities in On'ario is the case used by F. W. Krouse,President of the Ontario Beekeepers' Assoc at on. I do not know whether the case was or- iginal with Mr. Ki'ouse but the writer saw so many more of them in his apiaries than elsewhere that it comes quite natural to call it the I-irouse case. This holds but one colony and in the Krouse apiaries they are left in place the year around. The case is high enough to hold a doub'e story hive. Many of the Krouse bjes are on jumbo frames which are ahout equal to the Dadant frame in size. In early spring the packing is remov- ed down to the level of the top of the hive to permit of examination of the colony, but packing below 'hat pn'nt is left all summer. When the srco-d story or super is put in place the cover of the packing case is put on again thus giv'ng the hive e^celent protection agairst the eld davs of spring. This case is in effect a double walled hive since the ordinary hive. THE KROUSE WINTERING CASE Irons for Lifting the Hoshal Case.
