G. B. Lewis Co.. Watertown. Wis.— ZJMr 5/«.-— In referring tn comparative tests of 



bee feeders, in my opinion there is no better feeder for stimulative feedingor for the queen 



breeder than Thale's Regulative Vacuum Bee Feeder. It is better than tlie Boardman in 



that the bees can always take the syrup, even in coldest weather. They took feed here 



ivith the temperature at 22 degrees at night. There is no comparison between the Thale 



and Boardman or division-board feeder, owing to the ease with which one may control the 



flow. It is better than the Alexander for the same reason, and that it doesn't make a 



nuisance fastened to the hive. The Miller feeder will always be the best fall feeder for 



handling large lots of syrup. I believe, but the Thale may be fed so as to empty in 12 hours. 



I have found, and that threatens to outgrow the Miller, owing to the ease of operation and 



lack of bothersome equipment. The value of stimulative feeding is already known, and 



within 24 hours after feeding with the Thale I had eggs in every cell that the bees could cover here with the temperature below freezing. 



This with pollen from the maples. Altogether I recommend the Thale feeder as being the best feeder I have ever used for stimulative 



feeding. Kennith Hawkihs. Bret\hr of Qualitv Hill Quccm.
