HONEYVILLE, O. 



[This Cut is the Full Size of the Knife.] 



Your Name on the Knife.— WHea ordering, be sure to say just what name and 

 address you wish put on the Knife. 



The Novelty Knife is indeed a novelty The novelty lies In the handle. It is 

 made beautifuUv of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as f^-lass. Un- 

 derneath the ceiluloid, on one side of the handle is placed the name and residence of 

 the subscriber, and on the other side pictures of a Queen, Drone, and Worker, as 

 shown here. 



The Material entering into this celebrated knife is of the very best quality; 

 the blades are hand-forf;red out of the very finest English razor-steel, and we war- 

 rant every blade. The bolsters are made of tierman silver, and will never rust or 

 corrode. The rivets are hardened German silver wire; the linings are plate brass; 

 the back springs of Sheffield spring-steel, and the finish of the handle as described 

 above. It will last a last-time, with proper usage. 



Why Own the Novelty Knife ? In case a good knife is lost, the chances are the 

 owner will never recover it; but if the " Novelty " is lost, having name and address 

 of owner, the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and ad- 

 dress, would destroy the knife. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so for- 

 tunate as to have one of the "Novelties," your Pocket-Knife will serve as au identifier; and in 

 case of death, your relatives will at once be notified of the accident. 



How appropriate this knife is lor a presenti What more lasting memento could a mother 

 give to a son, a wife to a husband, a sister to a brother, or a lady to a gentleman, the knife having 

 the name of the recipient on one side? 



The accompanying cut gives a faint idea, but cannot fully convey an exact representation of 

 this^beautif ul knife, as the " Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Oct this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $1.10, or give it as a Premium to the 

 one sending us i hree new subscribers to the Bee Journal (with $3.00.) We will club the Novelty 

 Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $1.00.

packt them only a couple of weeks ago. 

 I believe they would be better packt 

 earlier, but I had not time to do it. 



Mr. Saunders — As far as wintering 

 outside, my hives are packt all sum- 

 mer; the only trouble I have in the fall 

 is putting- on the cushions, which I do 

 about the last of September or the first 

 of October. I askt this question. I 

 winter the bees in my home yard in 

 the cellar. After I had left for the 

 West about the 1st of September last, 

 they got some honey-dew for about a 

 week or so, and I have been too busy 

 to put them in since I came home, and 

 I wanted to know whether it would be 

 advisable to give them a flight on ac- 

 count of the honey-dew, or to put them 

 in right away. 



Mr. McEvoy— This is a serious thing. 

 If he puts them into;;the cellar he will 

 have to bring them out pretty early. 

 Leave them out a little longer, and 

 bring them in earlier, too. — ] 



Mr. Evans— I winter bees both in the 

 cellar and outside. I packt some out- 

 side a couple of weeks ago in saw- 

 dust, clamping 8 or 9 of them in a 12- 

 foot clamp. I usually take the sawdust 

 in the spring and put it in the honey- 

 house, so that it is perfectly dry. I 

 can winter in the cellar without any 

 loss whatever, unless from starvation, 

 but I do not think the bees come on as 

 well in the spring after they are taken 

 out. I do not usually put them into 

 the cellar until the middle of January ; 

 and I think it is wise to keep them out 

 as long as possible and take them out 

 as early as possible. My cellar is par- 

 ticularly dry ; the room is just oppo- 

 site the furnace so I can open the door 

 and heat it, or close the door and cool 

 it off. Instead of propping up the 

 hives I simply slide the hives back so 

 that they are a couple of inches behind 

 the bottom-board. I don't put any 

 cushions on top — just leave the ordi- 

 nary quilt without loosening it. I set 

 them around in rows, and they seem to
