Winter 



Losses are not always the result 

 of the same cause. They may 

 come from starvation; from poor 

 food; froTu itnprojjer prepara- 

 tions; from improper protection; 

 from a cold, wc-l, or ])ossihly, a 

 poorly ventilated cellar, etc, , 

 etc. Successful winterinj^f comes 

 from a proper combination of 

 different conditions. I'or clear, 

 concise, cotnprehensive conclu- 

 sions upon these all-important 

 points consult "Adv.vnced Bee 

 CiTLTURE." Five of its thirty- 

 two chapters treat as many dif- 

 ferent phases of the wintering 

 problems.

Exti^actop SALE 



I have a nearly new, Van 

 Allen & Williams Honey Ex- 

 tractor for sale. It has four 

 baskets of the right size for ex- 

 tracting Langstroth combs, and 

 they can be reversed autoinati- 

 ca/ly — without stopping the ma- 

 chine. The regular price of this 

 machine is f 20.00, but, as this 

 has been used some, I will sell 

 it for I15.00. I would exchange 

 it for bees, or anything else I 

 could use.

]4o pish-Bone 



Is apparent in comb honey when 

 the Van Deusen, flat - bottom 

 foundation is used. This style 

 of foundation allows the making 

 of a more unifonn article, hav- 

 ing a very thin base, with the 

 surplus wax in the side - walls, 

 where it can be utilized by the 

 bees. Then the bees, in chang- 

 ing the base of the cells to the 

 natural shape, work over the 

 wax to a certain extent; and the 

 result is a comb that can scarcely 

 be distinguished from that built 

 wholly by the bees. Being so 

 thin, one pound will fall a large 

 number of sections. 



All the Trouble of wiring 

 brood frames can be avoided by 

 using the Van Deusen wired. 



Send for circular; price list, 

 and samples of foundation.
