THF BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



Apiarian Pliotograplis. 



As most of my readers know, I am somewhat 

 interested in photography, and, during the sum- 

 mer of 1894, as each phase of bee-keeping reached 

 its most interesting stage it was carefully pho- 

 tographed. It has occurred to me that some of 

 my subscribers might be glad to get some of 

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

 bly, for the pleasure of looking at them, hence I 

 will describe a few of them. 



No. 1, ''Side removed from a hive containing 

 a swarm tliat has been hived three days; the 

 bees driven back with smoke disclosing the 

 combs in process of construction." 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 vipon a 

 step ladder just ready to shal^e the swarm into a 

 large clothes basket. 



No. 3, '■ Frame of comb taiien from tlie 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. Everything is 

 so sharp and clear that one can almost imagine 

 that it is the real comb instead of the picture. 



No. 4, "Worker bee and sting iwilh append 

 ages attached) enlarged to four diameters." 



No 5, " 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, "Comb-builders hanging in clusters 

 secreting wax " This shows a frame in which 

 the workers are hanging in those hmg stringing 

 clusters secreting wax, and in the center is a 

 small piece of comb just commenced. 



No. 9, " Sprig of baeswood 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 little 

 piece. 



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

 size) from one of which a queen has hatched. ' 

 Many who have seen this prunounce it the gem 

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

 realize tiiat it i.s only a picture. 



No. II, "Lining wild bees." Tliis shows the 

 river and some pine trees in the background, 

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

 box " containing a comb upon which bees are 

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

 man watcliing eagerly to get the " line " wlien a 

 bee starts for lioine 



The above pictures vary in size from 4 x 5 to 

 r)x8, andwill be sent by mail and safe arrival 

 guaranteed for 50 cents eacli Order by number. 



Then there is tlie picture of the members of 

 the St. Joseph convention that 1 can furnish at

 that some one would like to have photographed, 

 1 should \m glad to undertake thr job
