^^^ Most Important Point 



To Secure a Crop of Honey 

 the Coming Season 



You must heve the bees, and enough to each 

 colony— in time. But young bees, and young 

 queens now, and get them when you want 

 them. Strengthen weak colonies. Replace 

 old. worthless <iueens. 



I will sell and ship from my .100 colonies in 

 north Louisiana an equivalent of loou combs 

 sealed brood, covered with young bees, in 

 any shape to suit purchaser. Shipped in 

 April or May.

The Opfer Hive-Entrance Bee-Feeder.— 



In the spring we must feed the bees to have 

 them strong for clover-bloom. With all the 

 present feeders this is a troublesome job- 

 either the hive-bottom or covers have to be 

 taken off every time we feed. With the En- 

 trance Feeder shown herewith, all you have 

 to do is to push it in at the hive-entrance 

 and leave it there until there is no more 

 need of feeding. It contracts the entrance, 

 and that is what you want in spring. The 

 size of this feeder is 7x8 inches, and % inch 

 deep, and holds 5 ounces of feed. You can 

 feed 100 colonies in about 25 minutes. 



In case of foul brood you can feed medi- 

 cated syrup, and your bees will build up 

 strong and healthy, and be in good shape 

 when clover starts, ready to shake on foun- 

 dation. 



I have used 75 of these feeders about 8 

 years, and today they are as good as ever. 

 With proper care they will last a life-time. 



Inspringor in fall most bee-keepersneglect 

 to stimulate brood-rearing— one of the most 

 important things in having strong colonies 

 and good wintering. It does not depend so 

 much upon the amount of feed as it does 

 upon regularity every night (unless the 

 weather is too cold), and you will wonder 

 where your strong colonies come from. 



Some of the many good points of the En- 

 trance Feeder are these: 



1. It is made of heavy galvanized iron and 

 will last a life-time. 



2. It reduces the hive entrance. 



3. It reaches where the bees can get at the 

 feed even in cool weather. 



4. It feeds the right amount. 



5. It will not cause robbing. 



6. It will not disturb the colony while feed- 

 ing. 



7. It permits quick work. 



8 The bees wdl not drown in it.

 for these feeders at the following prices,
