HO 



THE BEE-KEEPEES 



Apiarian Photograpiis. 



As most I >f my readers know, J am sumcwliat 

 iatprested in pliotography, and, during i he BUra- 

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

 its most mtfi est iug stage it was carefully plio- 

 tograplied. Ir has occurred to me tliat some of 

 my subscribers might be glad to get some of 

 these pictures t^ 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 that lias 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 piece.-i of 

 comb, the next frame contains larger pieces, and 

 the next still larger, the combs in the middle 

 frame nearly reaching tiie bottom of the frame. 

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

 he lias 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 Irom 

 the end of <me of its limbs and a m n upon a 

 step ladder just ready to shako l he trwarm into a 

 large clothes basket. 



No. :!, '■ 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. Everything is 

 so sharp and clear that <mo can almost imagine 

 that it is the real C(mib instead of tlie picture. 



No. -1, "Worker bee and sting (with append- 

 ages attached) enlarged to four diameters." 



No .'), " Drone bee enlai ged tt) four diameters." 



No. t), "Queen bee and egg enlarged to four 

 diameters.' 



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

 building." 



No. S, " Comb-biiiltlers hanging in clusters 

 secreting wax " This shows a frame in which 

 the workeis are hanging in those l-ng stringing 

 clusters secreting wax, and in the center is a 

 small piece of comb just commenced. 



No. 9, " Sprig of basswood bloom, wliite clover 

 and a sectii u of honey." This is arranged some- 

 thing like the picture f)n the front cover of the 

 Rbvjew, and is a very neat and artistic little 

 piece. 



No. 10, " (iroup of queen cells inearly natural 

 size) from one of which a queen has hatched. 

 Many who have seen this i-ronounce it the gem 

 of the collection. In looking at it, it i.s hard t(^ 

 realize that it is only a picture. 



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

 river and some pine trees in the background, 

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

 box " containing a comb upon which bees are 

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

 man watching eagerly to get the " line " when a 

 bee starts for home. 



The above pictures vary in size from 4 x 5 to 

 .') X M, and will be sent by mail and safe arrival 

 guaranteed for .W cents each. Order by number. 



Then there is the picture of the members of 

 the St. Joseph convention that 1 can furnish at 

 7!! cents. This picture is 8 x 10. 



Any of the pictures that are not satisfactory, 

 or do not come up to the expectations, may be 

 returned unsoiled, and the money will be re- 

 funded. 



If tiier(! is any oijject or feature in bee-keeping 

 that some one would like to have pliotographed, 

 1 should be glad to undertake the job.
