Celluloid Queen-Buttons 



These are very pretty thintis for bee-keep- 

 ers or honey-sellers to wear on their cnat- 

 lapels. They often serve to introduce the 

 subject of honey, which might frequently 

 lead to a sale. 



Note. — One bee-keeper writes: "I have 

 every reason to believe that it would be a 

 very good idea for every bee- 

 keeper to wear one tof these 

 buttons], as it will cause peo- 

 ple to ask questions about 

 the busy bee. and many a 

 ' conversation thus started 

 wind up with the sale of 

 more or less honey; at any 

 rate it would give the bee- 

 keeper a superior opportu- 

 nity to enlighten many a person in regard to 

 honey and bees." 



The picture shown above is a reproduc- 

 tion of a motto queen-button that we offer 

 to bee-keepers. It has a pin on the under- 

 side to fasten it.

The above Queens are reared from select- 

 ed Red Clover Mothers. For Gentleness. 

 Beauty, and Good Working Qualities no bet- 

 ter BEES can be found. Our Queens are all 

 large, well-developed Queens, reared entire- 

 ly by the BEES. We use no artificial plans 

 to rear Queens— the BEES far better under- 

 stand the job than MAN.

An English Honey-Spoon 



<0 

 N 





J3 li^jt-l Over in old England they 



2 I it / have a handy honey-spoon, 



H< Mi or at least a spoon that has 



1 'tl a device in its handle that 

 ® I JrJ will prevent it from drop- 

 ® jjt I ping down in the jar of hon- 

 t" <f \ ey on thedining-table. thus 

 fl B I soiling the fingers and spoil- 

 ing the table-cloth. It is a 



■+i y I very ingenious idea, and 



^ / l» \ should have extensive de- 



2 \ V''tk. mand among honey-consu- 

 ■2 FlURi mers. especially bee-keep- 

 ^ llllil V ers. It is well plated on 



high-class nickel, and has 

 a beautiful raised design 

 on the upper side of the 

 handle, as indicated in 

 the picture herewith. 

 We have secured some 

 of these very unique 

 spoons, and will mail 

 them at go cents each. 

 Or. we will send spoon 

 and the American Bee 

 Journal one year— both 

 for $1.75. 



The spoon would be 

 fine as a gift for Christ- 

 mas, birthdays, etc. 



The editor of the Bee 

 Journal has used one of 

 these spoons for a num- 

 ber of months in the 

 honey-glass which is al- 

 ways on his table, and he would not like to 

 be without this spoon again, as it is so con- 

 venient, and also unusual in this country. 

 We can fill orders promptly now. You cer- 

 tainly would be pleased with this honey- 

 spoon, and so would anyone to whom you 

 might present it. Send all orders to,
