Our Comb-honey Outfit No. 6. 



It is always a matter of considerable difficulty for the average beginner to decide 

 exactly what he requires as an outfit for the first effort in keeping bees. To relieve 

 the beginner of all perplexity we list certain outfits which we think will meet his 

 needs. The one we give below is what may be fairly considered the best. Each item 

 has been very carefully selected and we doubt the wisdom of leaving any article out; 

 but the purchaser may do so without altering the prices on the other items.

Some may regard this as too expensive an outfit; but it should be borne in mind 

 that the colony of bees is just about perfect. The combs, for example, are beautifully 

 straight and nearly full of brood. The breeding of the queen is of the very best, so 

 that one has the nucleus of a fine stock of bees. In many cases a return of "SIO.OU in 

 honey has been secured the first year from just such an outfit as this, and in addition 

 one swarm and possibly two may be secured, which practically doubles the value of 

 the investment. This is not an uncommon occurrence. On the contrary, scores of 

 men have done as well or better, where the conditions were at all favorable. Pro- 

 viding any one has a liking for bees, we would earnestly urge the propriety of 

 securing one of these outfits this spring. One is never too old to learn bee- 

 keeping, and there is no more delightful out-door vocation. It is just right 

 for busy folks who must have a hobby. In fact, there can be nothing better. 

 If this offer is not quite to your liking, write us. We answer questions. 

 aiidmaii\^ To show we are not exaggerating the profits of bee-keeping when con- 

 * " ditions are favorable, we insert the following unsolicited testimonial 



from a man of unquestioned integrity. We could secure many 

 more like this if we chose to ask for them.
