A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE- 

 OF THE BEE BUSINESS 



By the Bee Crank: 



A certain young lady 

 who was visiting in the 

 country sat down to the 

 dinner-table, which was 

 loaded with all the good 

 things that are found on 

 the farm. With the other 

 good things she noticed a 

 dish of honey, and she ex- 

 claimed, "Ah! I see you 

 keep a bee. 



Of course this was an 

 extreme case, yet many 

 bee-men are but little better posted 

 than the young lady mentioned. 

 The successful bee-man, like the 

 modern farmer, is the one who uses 

 his brain as well as brawn, and who 

 leaves no stone unturned in gaining 

 knowledge of his specialty. It 

 seems to me that no other agricul- 

 tural industry has developed the im- 

 provements and conveniences that 

 are now at the command of the bee- 

 keeper. The bee-man who can 

 get along with "a good enough out- 



fit" usually hangs on in- 

 stead of pushing on. 



I do not believe you 

 can afford to use goods in- 

 ferior to these which I am 

 shipping all over this great 

 country. I notice that the 

 demand for the Danzen- 

 baker hive is on the in- 

 crease, and rapidly too. 

 Sections, smokers, and 

 every thing used in the 

 bee-yard, here and ready 

 for you. My Catalog is free. 



Save your beeswax for me and 

 send it here and secure highest 

 market price, cash or in exchange 

 for goods. 



Hoosier-Italian queens are being 

 sent by immediate return mail. If 

 the world is producing any thing 

 better, I do not know it. Gentle, 

 beautiful, and hustlers. Select un- 

 tested, $1.00; untested, 75 cents, 

 or six at one mailing at 65 cents 

 each.
