FEATURES OF ADVANTAGE OF THE 



ROLLER ENTRANCE BOTTOM BOARD 



1. It allows feedinc 

 during any time of the 

 day or year— at mid-day 

 or in mid-winter. 



2. It controls the mat- 

 ing of the queen so that 

 mismatingis prevented. 



3. It settles the robber 

 bee question as the rol- 

 ler can be quickly turn- 

 ed to bring the small 

 entrance into position. 



4. It sifts automatical- 

 ly undesirable drones 

 out of the hive, and 

 cages them in the drone 

 trap. 



5. It permits ample 

 ventilation at the height 

 of the honey-flow. 



6. It can be instantly closed when moving bees in and out of cellars or from one yard to 

 another. 



7. It permits undesirable queens to be sifted out by screening the bees through the 

 wire entrance. 



8. It prevents swarms from going to the tops of trees or away to the woods when the 

 beekeeper is away. 



p. It practically eliminates swarming, as the colonies usually show no inclination to 

 swarm. Why. I do not know. 



10. It is adjustable to make a shallow bottom for summer and a deep one for winter. 

 It contains many other valuable features which will be apparent to any beekeeper upon 

 investigation, and if it isonce tried it will always be used. -.--
