The Bustling' Busy 

 Buzzing' Bee. 



By the Bee Crank. 



"For Where's the State beneath the firmament, 

 That doth excell the bees for government ? " 



So wrote Du Bartas 

 more than 300 years 

 ago, and men are 

 still learning from 

 their miniature 

 teachers. Before you 

 can say ' ' scat, ' ' the 

 bee will begin to get 

 busy foraging for 

 you in sublime but, 

 alas! often misplaced 

 confidence because 

 you are not fully prepared to 

 furnish the bees with proper 

 facilities. Order your supplies 

 to-day. I am ready. I haven't 

 a shopworn article in my house. 

 My patrons do not give me a 

 chance to accumulate dead 

 stock. I am still making a 



specialty of quick 

 shipments; and In- 

 dianapolis is so locat- 

 ed that they go direct. 

 It's a main line from 

 me to you, regardless 

 of distance. I have 

 comb foundation 

 ready for immediate 

 shipments in ex- 

 change for beeswax, 

 on which I allow you 

 30 cents per pound in trade.. 

 I have a big lot of bright new 

 Danzenbaker hives and a com- 

 plete line of Root's goods at 

 Root's prices. All of them and 

 many other bee requisites are 

 shown in my new 1908 cata- 

 log, free for the asking. 



Walter S. Pouder, Indianapolis, Ind. Macon, Ga., Feb. 3, 1908. 



Goods, ordered of you recently, arrived in first-class shape and very promptly. 

 I have frequently had to wait over a month for goods ordered only a couple hun- 

 dred miles from here. Many thanks for your promptness, and I. too. know where 

 to send when in need of more goods. Respectfully, F. C. Ribs, Jr.
