GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



March, 1918 



NEW [ ^INGHAM 

 BEE SMOKER 



In 1878 the original 

 direct draft bee smoker 

 was invented and patent- 

 ed by Mr. T. F. Bingham 

 of Michigan. Mr. Bing- 

 ham manufactured the 

 Bingham Smoker and 

 Bingham Honey-knife for 

 nearly thirty -five years; 

 and in 1912, becoming a 

 very old man, we purchas- 

 ed this business and join- 

 ed it to our established 

 business of beekeepers' 

 supplies and general bee- 



vare. Those who knew Mr. Bingham will join us 

 n saying that he was one of the finest of men and it 

 ves us much pleasure to help perpetuate his name 

 in the beekeeping: industry. Bingham smokers have 

 been improved from time to time, are now the finest 

 on the market, and for nearly forty years have been 

 the standard in this and many foreign countries. 

 For sale by all dealers in bee supplies or direct from 

 the manufacturers.

Woodman's Section-fixer 



A combined section press and foundation- 

 fastener of pressed-steel construction. ONE 

 OF THE GEEAT ADVANTAGES this ma- 

 chine has over all others in the market, in 

 the putting in of top and bottom starters is, 

 YOU ALWAYS HANDLE LAEGE PIECES 

 OF FOUNDATION. You know how hard it 

 is to set small narrow pieces for bottom 

 starters. With this machine a large piece 

 of foundation is set and the hot .plate is 

 again used to cut it off, leaving the narrow 

 bottom starter. What is left of the large 

 piece is then set for the top starter. THIS 

 IS THE ONLY MACHINE ON THE MAE- 

 KET, from which the section always comes away right side up, with the large piece 

 01' top starter hanging down. It docs not become loosened in reversing as with other 

 machines. 



Price of machine $3.00, with lamp, $3.40. Weight 5 lbs.; postage extra.

SIXTY POUND SQUARE CANS 



We are now booking orders and making shipments of 60-lb. cans from several 

 different factories about the country. We believe it would be a wise idea to secure 

 your supply early, as we have been told that the supply of tin plate will not take care 

 of the demands. Ask us for prices, stating quantity wanted.
