A NEW HIVE-TOOL 



Hitherto we have said very little about our new hive-tool, but after submitting it to some of the foremost bee-keepers of America 

 for their candid opinion — for or against — the universal verdict is that it is a good thing; though it looks like a very simple tool it is very 

 surprising how useful it is to an apiarist. The bent end, for example, is just right for severing Hoffman frames. A slight twist of the 

 wrist does the business without angering the bees, and one's hand is so placed the bees do not see it. For scraping wax and propolis 

 nothing could be finer, and it is better than a chisel, screwdriver, or putty-knife for opening hives. Any bee-keeper will be glad o( 

 one in his pocket ready for all occasions. It is made of the finest hardened steel nickel plated. 



Sample Testimonial: 



Mr. Root: — I have been using your nickel-steel hive-tool this spring, and am very much pleased with it. M is the 

 best thing I have tried yet. 1, with my helper, have been using tack-pullers heretofore; but this is better because so 

 much stronger. It leaves nothing to be desired except that there should be a hole in it a little nearer the crooked end. 

 I tried to get one drilled but had to give it up — too hard; so I fastened a strap around it to fasten to my pants button.
