[See Marcl] ulcaniiujs, ji'Kjr Id);.] 



A Cage for Catching Queens Without Injury. 



Directions ' Y THE INVENTOR:— Take out tlic plug from the 

 open end, which has to be niade in tlir slia|M- of a funnel, and 

 set this end lightly over her. As tlir light strikes her from 

 above through the wire she will iristaTilIv run up into the 

 cage, which is then closed by rei)laiiiig til.- ping. Catching a 

 queen this way is just as quick as iii.-kiiif; bir up with the fln- 



fers, and, above all, she is never hurt. For a number of years 

 have not used gloves when at work with my bees, but I rely 

 mostly on m.y catcher when I want to catch a queen, because 

 I am a very nervous person, and can not keep my fingers quiet 

 enough when I am in the least excited. They will tremble in 

 spite of all I can do; and the more valuable the queen is, or 

 ttie more anxious I am to secure her, the more unsteady my 

 fingers are. But with my catcher I am always safe, and would 

 not feel content, especially in swarmingtime, without having 

 sever:'! of them in mv pocket. To make the queen come 

 ont finii-klv 1 n-ini.ve tlie pint.' and f..ld niv hand around

. have every thing handy. This cage may also he used for 

 introducing queens, by putting it down lietweeii the combs, 

 and leaving it there until the bees eat out the candy and sot 

 her free. If they do not let her out at the end of 48 hours, re- 

 lease her in the usual way.

I offer for sale this season as fine a strain of Ital- 

 ian queens and bees as can be found in this coun- 

 trj'. Bees by the nucleus, with tested or untested 

 young: queens. My queens will nearly all be bred 

 from the queen I bought of Frank Benton last sea- 

 son, which I described in Sept. No. of Gleanings, 

 or from select daughters of hers. They are fine, 

 large, bright-colored bees, very gentle, splendid 

 workers; queens very prolific, and stood the long 

 cold winter with scarcely any loss. My five-frame 

 nuclei I make a specialty. These can in 10 days or 

 two weeks be built up into fine colonies.
