 it. Avoid drug treatments. 



Combs never having had foul brood in 

 them are safe to use, and if cleaned perfectly 

 by the bees of all honey, even if once over 

 infected combs, they are safe to use.

Severe Winter— Divisible Brood- 

 Cliambep Hives. 



Until about Feb. 1 we had the finest winter 

 for bees that could be wished for, but for the 

 last 10 days we have bad an almost continual 

 blizzard with about 12 inches of snow, which 

 drifted over the hives on the summer stands 

 as fast as it could be shoveled away. 



February 12 two colonies were found to be 

 almost dead from want of air, and some 

 others suffering. I then gave fresh air from 

 above which seemed to quiet them. But Feb. 

 13 the thermometer stood at 28 degrees below 

 zero and the snow was still drifting; Feb. 14 

 it was 15 degrees below and still storming; 

 Feb. 15, 10 below, but still, and at noon 15 

 degrees above zero. Some hives were entirely 

 covered with hard, packed snow. By the aid 

 of a scoop-shovel I cleared away all the snow 

 in front of the hives, and found all colonies 

 in good condition except 6, which suffered 

 badly for want of air, and were restless, some

The Novelty Pocket=Knife. 



Your Name aad Address on one side— Three Bees on the other side. 



[This Ctrr is the ii"oi,i. Size op the Knife.] 



Your Name on the Knife.— Wben orderiug, t>e sure to say jost what name and 



itddress you wish put on the Knite. 



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

 made beautifully of indestructible celluloid, which is as transparent as glass. Un- 

 lerneath the celluloid, oa one side of the haudle is placed the name and residence of 

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

 shown here. 



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

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

 rant every blade. The balsters are made of German 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 

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

 9f 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 an identifier; and ia 

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



How appropriate this knife is for a present! What more lasting memento conld 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 recipieut on one side? 



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

 thisjbeautiful knife, as tly» ** Novelty " must be seen to be appreciated. 



How to Get this Valuable Knife.— We send it postpaid for $1.25, or give it as a Premium to th< 

 one sending us \ sree new subscribers to the Bee Journal (with Siw.) We will club the Novelty 

 Knife and the Bee Journal for one year, both for $2.00.
