Bee-escapes— ■when to get them. 

 Our readers who wish to use bee-esoapes can 

 obtain tlieiu at this office The bee-escape is the 

 same tliiiij? as we use in the drone-aiid-queen 

 trap. 1 know of no boe-arran;^ement so good as 

 thejtrap for a bee-escape for getting bees out of 

 sections, or one so efl'ectual in preventing any 

 bees from entering tlie sections wlien once out. 

 The trap can be used in tliis way: Lay the trap 

 backside down, letting tlie entrance to the trap 

 cover a small liole in the section case. Place any- 

 thing over tlie metal of the trap to prevent in- 

 gress or egress of any bees through tlie perfora- 

 tions.

 and left quite a large apiary, desires to dispose of 

 a lot of bee fixtures at a low price. Call and see

Individual rights to manufacture the drone-

 and-queen trap that we shall offer one trap by 

 mail, and the riglit to make and manufactui-e them 

 for one's own use, lor the small sum of $1.50.

 same as is used in the traps, and the same things 

 as are used for bee-escapes for getting the bees 

 out of sections, we can furnish the tools for $3.00. 

 They can be sent by mail for 2.5 cents extra. 



Five of the tubes are made at one blow with a 

 heavy hammer. In one day a smart man can 

 make lOoO of the tubes. 



The Bay State bee-hive. 



Those who are thinking of adoiiting a different 

 st>le hive should not fail to examine the Bay 

 State before making up their mimls what hive is 

 best. The Bay State Hive is not perfect perhaps, 

 but then it is so much nearer perfection than a 

 large majority of hives in use that all who have 

 tested llie B. S. H. have adopted it. Something 

 may be found in the API Mail-Box concerning 

 this Hive. 



We can ship these hives direct from the W. T. 

 Falconer Manufacturing Co., at Jamestown, N. Y. 



We have a large part of our supplies sawed at 

 the above lactory, and better work and stock are 

 not furnished by any one in the business. We 

 have a quantity of the Bny State Hives made up 

 at the factory and ready to ship. Any one desir- 

 ing to examine the hive can obtain one ol them 

 by sending $i.7o direct to W. T. Falconer & Co. 

 The hive is complete in frames, sections and all. 



The Bay State Hive has but eight frames, and 

 are of the closed-end style.
