THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



And quality are the two thing^s that sell goods. We are in the 

 heart of the lumber country where we get lumber at first 

 hands without freight. We have the cheapest known power — 

 water. We make goods that are the equal of any in quality 

 and workmanship. In some instances they are superior. For 

 instance, our sections are made from tough wood that will 

 bend without breaking, even if you don't wet it. How many 

 sections did you break in putting together the last thousand ? 

 Think of it. Send for our catalog and get prices that will 

 surprise and please you. All we ask is to get a trial order, 

 and there will be no trouble in holding your custom.

THE OLMSTEAD HIVE 

 AND SYSTEM. 



If every r» ader of the Review knew, as well as 

 I know, what can be done with the new hive, and 

 what a pleasure it is to do it, I believe they would 

 not allow this season to pass without at least giv- 

 ing it a fair trial. Think of what it means to be 

 able to examine one of the Central combs without 

 disturbing the bees to any extent. It is usually a 

 tell tale of all the conditionsin thehive. As lotfer 

 the hive it has, aside fiom the valuable features 

 as described in the Review, many others that I 

 believe willbe appreciated bj' all who have to mov'e 

 bees. It has a plain solid bottom with a blizzard 

 pnwf entrance for out-door wintering: The cover 

 is of the telescopi ■ style. Over the sections, or 

 combs, are thee, ^-inch air spaces, two ^s-inch 

 boards, and a sheet of galvanized iron. I do not 

 NOW use the VanDeusen clasp, yet one can pre- 

 pare it for moving, with an upper story, if desired, 

 over the frames, and 50 square inches of screen at 

 the bottom, besides a J^-inch crack beeween the 

 super and the hive, in one minute, without 

 nails, lath or hammer 



The frames are Langstroth size, plain, yet at 

 once rigid or loose, as described. 



lam offering the hive complete, as describe! 

 here and elsewhere in the Review, at $2.00 each, 

 during April and May.
