 Henry Allky: I hived tliree swarms 

 this season with your automatic Swarm- 

 hiver. I am away from liome all day and 

 found the swarms self-hived wlieii I re. 

 turned at niaht. riiANK H. PREScoxr 



A beekeeper living near here bought 

 one of your swarraers and placed it on 

 a hive according to directions, and went 

 out to his work, ploughing. Wlien he 

 returned liome his bees had swarmed 

 and were at work in the new hive and 

 all right without any trouble to him.

 Friend Alley: Swarming time is now 

 over witli me nnd I take the pleasure to 

 report to you tliat tlie Ant. Swami Hiver 

 is the boss. Tlie first tiii.e I tried it, it 

 didn't wor]\. The hive was a portico 

 hive and I could not adjust ri^ht. Since 

 tlien I have used it on hives without por- 

 tico to my greatest satisfaction. I deem 

 it the best swarming device I have ever 

 seen. 



Respectfully yours,
