Judicious Feeding 



is the only hope for bee-keepers in 

 poor localities or poor seasons, and 



Boardman's Atmospheric 

 Entrance Feeder 



uis come to help out in that work. 



By Its use the honey from the fields may be secured 

 in the surplus instead of going into the brood- 

 chamber, and the bees at the same time provided 

 with much safer and cheaper winter stores. 



Don't neglect your bees, and I am sure you wouldn't 

 it you were provided with these haody feeders. 



I shall be pleased to send descriptive circulars and 

 price list on application.
