GLEANINGS IN BEE C U L T I' K E November, 1918 



Real Bee Equipment 



VOU are one of those careful beekeepers who is already figuring on 

 bee supplies for your next year's use so as to avoid the freight con- 

 gestion later, and also so as to take advantage of any early discounts. 



We are in a position to co-operate with you by making Prompt Ship- 

 ment and at Prices that icill Save You Money. 



More than that, you will want the best that you can get for the 

 money. Real Equipment, such as we can send you, will not only save 

 you money, but will be a pleasure to use. 



Hives and Supplies 



'T'HERE is a big advantage in first-class equipment, something that 

 when put up will stand hauling to your outyards ; that will stand 

 the weather when properly painted ; in which frames will fit perfect- 

 ly, and where all hives, supers, etc., are uniform. 

 Tf you want to exchange a frame of brood it is a calamity to find 

 that frames will not interchange on account of faulty workmanship. 

 If you want to move a colony, a knot-hole in the bottom-board in- 

 creases your trouble. 



LEWIS HIVES, Supers and Equipment, which we handle, are not 

 built that way. They are "Built Like Furniture," with every piece 

 interchangeable. 



Bee Comb Foundation 



W/^E are Comb Foundation Specialists. Dadant^s Foundation is 

 perfected in manufacture to a degree that we feel justified in 

 recommending to you as the best there is. In these days of high 

 honey prices, the foundation which is quickest accepted by the bees 

 means considerable honey extra for the beekeeper. Do not lose 

 sight of this point. 



Specialties 



TTIME SAVERS are money savers. Such items listed in our cata- 

 log as Wiring Devices, Electric Wire Imbedders, Swarm Box, 

 Foundation Cutting Box, etc., will save you time — will save you money. 



Bee Books 



'T'HIRTY YEARS' experience with several hundred colonies of bees 

 has led us to believe that we can furnish valuable information to 

 the l)eekeeper. Our books are written with that in view. Some of 

 the books of our own publication are, "First Lessons in Beekeeping," 

 "A Thousand Answers to Beekeeping Questions," "Practical Queen- 

 Rearing" and "Langstroth on the Honey Bee." 



Write us for a list of the supplies you wish — We u:ill give 

 you the very lowest prices consistent with first-class goods. 



Dadant & Sons, Hamilton, 111.
