HANDSOME IS THAT HANDSOME DUES. 



Connellnville. Pa 

 Mr. Alley : I had a queen IVom you ami an Al- 

 ley queen IVoni Row of Gieensbur^' ami ilie 

 bies (11 oveil so veiy gentle, espeeially the inojr- 

 enyot'thi' queen I lu'ulot you (no taffy)"tiiat I shall 

 intro(hu;e all Alley qneeiis tne cominfj suniuier. 

 I never received a s-ting liom the liees in tlie 

 Alley colony last season, and the queen (illed a 10- 

 fianie Simplicity luve (the only one I h ive— ^my 

 banner colony) with bees and they gave me the 

 largest surplus by large odds notwithstanding it 

 was a very poor season, 'I'hey alway.s worked 

 when other colonieo weie idle.

THE DRONE AND-QUEEN TRAPS 

 AT REDUCED PRICES. 



We have received from the factory a 

 large number of drone-and-queen traps. 

 If any one is disposed to purchase them 

 at this 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 ([3) and individ- 

 ual right, we will ship them for $4.00. 

 Those who purchase fifty traps, price 

 $10, will get an individual right to make 

 the traps, also the Api one year free. 



Now let me tell you something t!iat 

 all of you, or many of you, do not know 

 about ; at least nine out of every ten 

 persons lio not. Do you know that you 

 can sell any or all the traps you pur- 

 chase of us in any place in the 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. This will be $6.50. 

 You then have the right to make all 

 you can use in your own apiary. 



Those who have an individunl 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 manuf^ictured just 



where he selects. So you see it Avill 

 pay 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 subscriber 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 

 $ 1. 10. 



The Apt and one of our improved 

 Self-hivers will be mailed for $1.50. 



OUU ONE-HUNDRED DOLLAR QUEEN, 



Bear in mind that each subscriber to 

 the ApicuLTaRisT is entitled to one of 

 the best queens reared from our one- 

 hundred dollar queen, by remitting 

 seventy-five cents when the queen is 

 wanted. 



PRICES OK QUEENS TO SUBSCRIB- 

 ERS OF THE APICULTURIST. 



We beg to remind all subscribers to 

 the Api that they can get one of our 

 best se/ec^ Italian queens by remitting 

 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 75, or, two queens and the Api will 

 be sent for $3 50. The queens may be 

 ordered and paid for when wanted. 

 No queens will be mailed before May 

 20, 1891 . 



GOOD AIR AND GOOD HONEY. 



My advice for ladies who are but sickly 

 house-plants, is to engage in something 

 that will call them outside into the 

 bright sunshine, I know of nothing 

 better calculated to interest and instruct, 

 and at the same time to remunerate for 

 labor bestowed, than beekeeping and 

 poultry-raising combined. — Exchange.
