THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER. 



Apri. 



avenge with their stings the insult of- 

 fered to their sovereign. On restoring 

 the captured queen to her subjects with 

 equal secrecy the tumult speedily sub- 

 sided, and the ordinary business of the 

 community was resumed as before the 

 occurrence. — Exchange. 



"Food V^alue of Honey," is the title 

 of a neat little folder of fourteen pages 

 compiled by Dr. C. C. Miller; published 

 by the A. I. Root Co. As an educator, 

 bee-keepers should use it liberally to 

 build up local trade. There is no doubt 

 as to its doing the work, if it were only 

 given the circulation. We will furnish 

 them, with your name and address 

 neatly printed on each, as a premium 

 for getting new subscribers for The 

 American Bee-Keeper. 



During the recent rush of business in 

 the supply trade, which necessitates 

 running our factory to a late hour each 

 night to keep up with orders, numerous 

 inquiries are also coming in for queens 

 and bees. As we do not deal in these, 

 we can only refer our inquiring friends 

 to the advertising columns of our 

 journal. Queen breeders and others 

 should keep in mind the significant 

 combination; first, the wise words of 

 Kate B. Griswold: "Advertising is a 

 honey-comb, which holds in it the 

 sweets of business success," and sec- 

 ondly, the wide circulation of The Bee- 

 Keeper throughout the eastern states. 

 Now is the time to advertise queens 

 and bees. 



The publishers of The American Bee- 

 Keeper, the W. T. Falconer Mfg. Co., 

 Jamestown, N. Y., are among the 

 largest manufacturers of bee-keepers' 

 supplies in the world, and they make 

 almost everything used in the pursuit 

 such as Hives, Sections, Extractors, 

 Smokers, etc. The workmanship is al- 

 ways of superior merit and quality of 

 material unsurpassed, in fact, seldom 

 equalled. Their customers hail from 

 every country where bees are kept by 



scientific methods, and they are just 

 now enjoying not only a very large 

 home trade, but have on hand several 

 large foreign orders. The W. T. Fal- 

 coner Mfg. Co. have been doing busi- 

 ness for many years and have built up 

 their large business by treating their 

 customers fairly and in a business-like 

 manner, so that each customer is satis- 

 fied and returns to them again when 

 in want of anything in their line. If 

 you have not received one of their 

 large illustrated catalogs and price lists 

 for this year, send your name to them 

 on a postal card. — Their prices will be 

 found to be right.
