Apiarian Piiotograplis. 



As most of my roailers know, J ain somewhat 

 interested in pliotofiraphy. and, during the sum- 

 mer of 18iU, as cacli phase of Ixn- keeping reached 

 its most interesting staf^e it was carc^fiilly pho- 

 tograplied. It has occurred to nie that some of 

 my subscribers might be ghul to get some of 

 these pictures to use in making cuts, or, possi- 

 bly, for tlie pleasure of looking at them, hence 1 

 will describe a few of them. 



No. 1, "Side removed from a hive containing 

 a swarm that has been iiived three days ; the 

 bees driven back with smoke disclosing the 

 combs in process of coustruction." In the out- 

 side frame there are only one or two pieces of 

 comb, the next frame contains larger pieces, and 

 the next still larger, the combs in the middle 

 frame nearly reaching the bottom of the frame. 

 Mr. Root says it is the best picture of comb that 

 he has ever seen- 



No. 2, 'Just ready to shake a swarm into a 

 basket preparatory to hiving them." This shows 

 a large apple tree with a swarm hanging from 

 the end of one of its limbs and a mnn upon a 

 step ladder just ready to shake the 6warm into a 

 large clothes basket, 



No. 3, " Frame of comb taken from the brood 

 nest of a colony that has recently cast a swarm " 

 Tnis shows the white comb just beneath the top 

 bar, and below it the sealed brood, both worker 

 and drone, drones hatching out, and perhaps 

 half a dozen sealed queen cells, iiverything is 

 so sharp anil clear tliat one can almost imagine 

 that it is the real comb instead of the picture. 



No. 4, " Worker bee and sting (.with append- 

 ages attached) enlarged to four diameters." 



No ."), " Drone bee enlarged to four diameters." 



No. 6, "Queen bee and egg enlarged to four 

 diameters." 



No. 7, " Sectional and front view of comb- 

 building." 



No. 8. " Comh-biiilders hanging in clusters 

 secreting wax " This shows a frame in which 

 the workers are hanging in those lung stringing 

 clusters secreting wax, and in the center is a 

 small piece of comb just commenced. 



No. 51, "Sprig of basswood bloom, white clover 

 and a section of honey." This is arranged some- 

 thing like the picture on the front cover of the 

 Review, and is a very neat and artistic littJe 

 piece. 



No. 10, " Group of queen cells (nearly natural 

 size) from one of which a (jueen has hatched. ' 

 Many who have seen this prouounco it the gem 

 of the collection. In looking at it, it is hard to 

 realize that it is only a picture. 



No. 11, "Lining wild bees." This stiows the 

 river and some pine trees in the background, 

 while in the foreground upon a stump is a " bee- 

 box " c<mtaining a comb upon which bees are 

 at work, wliile at the foot of tiie stump lies a 

 man watching eagerly to get the '' line " when a 

 bee starts for home 



The above pictures vary in size from 4x.")to 

 ox,s, and will bo sent by mail and safe arrival 

 guaranteed for 50 cents each. Order by number. 



Then there is the picture of the members of 

 the St. Joseph convention that I can furnish at 

 75 cents. This picture is S x 10. 



Any of the i)ictnres that are not satisfactory, 

 or do not come tip to the expi'clations, may be 

 returned unsoiled, and the money will be re- 

 funded. 



If there is any oijject or feature in bpp-keeping 

 that some <me wonhi like to have i)liotographed, 

 1 should he glad to midertrike the job.
