GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE

Seasonable 



Suggestions. 



Use TKe Porter Spring £scape. 



When taking off surplus this is the greatest sav- 

 ing device. It does away with the shaking of the 

 heavy supers, the cruelty of excessive smoking 

 which causes the bees to uncap their honey and 

 start robbing. Just tip the super to the angle of 

 4b° and insert the board. In a few hours it is free 

 of bees; then take off your super. No need smok- 

 ing. You can as well afford to be without a smok- 

 er as without the Porter Bee-escape. Order to-day. 



PRICE : 20c each ; dozen, |2.25 ; postpaid. With 

 board, 35c each; $3.20 per 10; by express or freight. 



Use Porter Honey-House £scape 



over the doors and windows in the extracting- 

 house, or any place you wish to clear of bees. The 

 most persistent robber can not return. Some bee- 

 keepers make a practice of taking off the filled 

 supers and stacking seven or eight in a pile. The 

 Porter Honej'-house mounted on a board makes 

 the best kind" of escape. Don't wait till to morrow 

 before you get a supply. You can't afford to be 

 without them longer. 



PRICK : 2.5c each ; $2.75 per dozen ; postpaid. 

 Board without escape, 15c each ; |1.00 per 10.
