SUSPENDERS FOR BEE-KEEPERS. 



A number of customers have requested us to get 

 a good suspender for bee-keepers, and a number of 

 kinds have been suggested. The one shown above, 

 called the "Foster," suits us as well as any we have 

 seen. If you notice carefully you will see that, by 

 the use of eveners, or equalizers, the strain on each 

 button is the same. We can furnish them made of 

 good white elastic web cotton ends, at 35 cts. per 

 pair; silk ends, 50 cts. By mail, postpaid, 5 cts. per 

 pair extra. In ordering please call them the "Fos- 

 ter." We can furnish very good white elastic sus- 

 penders, without the eveners, at 25 cts. per pair; by 

 mail, 5c extra. Adjustable elastic armlets, 10c per 

 pair, postpaid. A. I. ROOT, Medina, Ohio. 



CGQS FOE HATCHING, from choice S. C. B. Leghorns; 

 *- can fill all orders promptly, great and small.

With Love at the 

 helm, a successful 

 voyage may be ex- 

 pected. In the guid- 

 ance of our beauti- 

 ful little craft. "The 

 Bee - Keeper's Re- 

 view," Love sits su- 

 preme. In other 

 words, we are most 

 ~ thoroughly in love 

 with our work. With 

 feelings akin to a 

 mother's, do we look 

 upon the numbers of 

 the Review. They are our mental children. It is 

 said, that, although all the children of a family re- 

 ceive affection in the same degree, there is always a 

 favorite child. This may not always be true; but cer- 

 tain it is, that every author of more than one book 

 looks with special pride upon some one of these 

 hooks. Reader, if you would be pleased to see the 

 number of the Review that comes the nearest to an 

 ideal, send for the March No. for 1889. It will be 

 sent free, and with it will be sent the May and June 

 issues for 1888. Price of the REVIEW, 50 cts. a 

 year. Back numbers furnished. 



Tlie Production of" Comb Honey is a neat 

 little book of 45 pages; price 25 cts. This book and 

 the REVIEW one year for 65 cts. For $1.00 the RE- 

 VIEW will be sent two years, and the book 

 "thrown in." Stamps taken, either U. S. or Cana- 

 dian, w. Z. HUTCHINSON,

Black and Hybrid Queens For Sale. 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they want to dispose of, we will insert notices free of 

 charge, as below. We do this because there is hardly value 

 enough to these queens to pay for buying them up and keep- 

 ing them in stock; and yet it is oftentimes quite an accommo- 

 dation to those who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



For Sale.— 30 black and 40 hybrids, which I will 

 sell after the 10th of April at the rate of 10 of each 

 kind each week, till all are sold. Price, black, 30 cts.; 

 hybrids, 50 cts. J. W. Poole, Russellville, Ark. 



I have 8 or 10 hybrid queens that I will take 40 cts. 

 each for, or 4 for $ 1.50. Ready to ship now, or I will 

 take trade for queens. J. W. Taylor, Ozan, Ark. 



I have two black queens, young and prolific, 

 which I should be glad to sell at 35 cts. each.
