THE AMERICAN APICULTURIST. 



The B. S. hive is so constructed that the 

 closed-end frame or the L. frame can be 

 used without any chanijes to the bottom- 

 board. Uf course, the L. frames must be 

 used in a box or case so that the frames 

 can hang on rabbets.

PRICES OK QUEENS TO SUBSCRIB- 

 ERS OF THE APICULTURIST. 



We beg to remind all subscribers to 

 the Api that they can get one of out- 

 best se/ec/ Italian queens by remit!; ng 

 seventy-five cents at the time the queen 

 is wanted. The regular price of such 

 queens is $1.25. 



If any subscriber prefers one of our 

 select golden Carniolan queens, the same 

 as we charge $2 for, one will be sent for 

 $1 25, or, the two queens and the Api 

 will be sent for $2 50. 'I'he queens 

 may be ordered and paid for when 

 wanted. No queens will be mailed be- 

 fore May 20, 1891. 



The development of the bee industry 

 is shown by the increased attention 

 given to the apiary by several of the 

 leading agricultural papers. The most 

 largely cnculated agricultural semi- 

 monthly in the country, the Farm and 

 Home, of Springfield, Mass., has en- 

 gaged Samuel Cushman as its apiary 

 e(htor. Mr. Cushman is well known as 

 the painstaking apiarist of the Rhode 

 Island agricultural experiment station. 

 Judging from the specimen copy re- 

 ceived, the apiary department promises 

 to be an important feature of the Farm 

 and Home. 



THE DRONE AND-QUEEN TRAPS. 

 AT ]{EI)UCEU PRICES. 



We have received from the factory a 

 large number of drone- and-queen traps. 

 If any one is disposed to purchase them 

 at tliis time we shall sell half dozen in 

 flat, one made, seven traps in all, and 

 give the purchaser an individual right 

 to manufacture the traps for his own 



use for the small sum of ^3.00. If you 

 wish one dozen traps (13) and individ- 

 ual right, we will ship them for $4.00. 

 Those who purchase fifty traps, price 

 ;^ro, will get an individual right to make 

 the traps, also the Api one year free. 



Now let me tell you something all 

 of you, or many of you, do not know 

 about ; at least nine out of every ten 

 persons do not. Do you know that you 

 can sell any or all the traps you pur- 

 chase of us in any place in tlie United 

 States where the territory is not sold? 

 You can come^into our town and sell 

 these traps if they were purchased of 

 us in the first place. 



Now if we sell you one dozen traps 

 (13) you can sell every one of them 

 for 50 cents each. 'J'his will be $6.50. 

 You then have the riglit to make all 

 you can use in your own apiary. 



Those who have an individual right 

 to make the traps, can obtain the mate- 

 rial for them from their nearest dealer. 

 A person who owns a right to use and 

 manufacture a patented article has the 

 right to get his goods manufactured just 

 where he selects. So you see it will 

 l^ay you to purchase an individual right 

 in any case, as by so doing you can 

 more than save the price of it in ex- 

 press charges on one dozen traps. 



We want agents to sell the traps in 

 every county in the United States ; also 

 agents to introduce the Self-Hiver into 

 every apiary in America. Pay liberal. 



If any suliscriber desires to examine 

 one of our improved Drone and-queen 

 Controllers, we will mail it for thirty-five 

 cents, or, the Api and Controller for 

 $ I. 10. - 



The Api and one of our improved 

 Self-hivers will be mailed for $1.50. 



OUR ONK-HUNORED DOLLAR QUEEN. 



Bear in mind tliat each subscriber to 

 the APICULTURIST is entitled to one of 

 the best queens reared from our one- 

 hundred dollar queen, by remitting sev- 

 enty-five cents when the queen i^ 

 wanted.
