Thale's Vacuum Bee-Feeder in Detail 

 —THE NEW MODEL— 



THALE'S REGULATIVE VACUUM BEE-FEEDER 



MOST PKRFl'XT STIMULATIVE FEEDER ever constructed. It feeds 

 inside underneath the cluster, and will fit any hive made. To fill feeder 

 lift off empty bottle and set on full one. It is so regulated by the slide 

 from the outside of the hive to feed any amount you may want the bees to have 

 in one day. If you set it on one-half pint in one day the bottle of feed will run 

 four days and nights, and can be increased or decreased from the outside of the 

 hive without disturbing the bees or moving the feeder. It feeds continuously, 

 thereby imitating a natural honey-flow, and will produce more brood with less 

 cost than any other feeder made, and can be filled any time of day without caus- 

 ing robbing or excitement. Queen Breeders especially cannot afford to be with- 

 out this feeder, as hundreds of valuable queen-cells are torn down and destroyed 

 by the bees annually on account of improper and poor methods of feeding. With 

 this feeder you control the flow; it feeds continuously, and will produce more 

 cells, better cells, and the bees will not destroy any. Try this feeder; it will 

 more than pay you. Send for feeder circular and Bee-Supply Catalog. I carry a 

 full line of Lewis Beeware and Dadant's Foundation. One of my Vacuum Bee- 

 feeders complete with two bottles free with every ten dollar order. Send me a 

 list of your wants — it is no trouble to answer letters.
