Individual rights to manufacture the drone- 

 and-queen trap. 



So many beekeepers desire to make the drone- 

 aiiil-qiieen tra)) that wo shall offer one trap by 

 mail, and tlie right to make and manufacture them 

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



If any one desires to make the bee-escapes, the 

 same as is used in the traits, and tlie same things 

 as are used for bee-escapes for getting the bees 

 out of sections, we can liirnish tlie tools for $3.00. 

 They can be sent by mail for 25 cents extra. 



Five of the tubes are made at one blow with a 

 lieavv lianinier. In one day a smart man can 

 ni;dve 1000 of the tubes. 



The Bay State bee-hive 



Those who are tliinking of adopting a different 

 style hive should not fail to examiTie the Bay 

 State before making up their minds what hive is 

 best. The Bay State Hive is not perfect perhaps, 

 but then it is so much nearer perfection than a 

 large vuajority of hives in use that all who have 

 tested the 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 factory, and better work and stock are 

 not furnished by any one in the business. We 

 liave a quantity of the Bay State Hives made up 

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

 ing to examine the hive can obtain one of them 

 by sending $3.00 direct to W. T. Falconer & Co. 

 The hive is complete in frames, sections and all. 



Tlie Bay State Hive has but eight frames, and 

 are of the closed-end style. 



This is first-class. 



Collamer, N. Y. 



Henry Alley: Accept my most sincere thanks 

 for the June and July numbers of the Apicul- 

 TUKIST. I assure you it is refreshing to take up 

 a bee-paper of science, in which the publisher 

 does not go out of his way to sneer at inventors 

 and tlie experimental bee men, and such a pajier 

 is the API. Few bee-papers contain so much 

 good advice in such agreeable shape, and I find 

 there are profit and pleasure to lie had out of an 

 hour devoted to tlie Ameuican Apiculturist. 



If beekeepers must know how to rear queens we 

 commend them to the American Apiculturist. 



If the Beekeepers'' Directory is anything near so 

 good as the Handy Book, it will be a model of 

 clear statements, intelligible detinition, excellent 

 reasoning and full of common sense. The logic 

 and rhetoiic of Mr. Alley have achieved for him 

 an'enviable reputation as a master in the field of 

 mental science and queen-rearing. He is tlie au- 

 tlior of many known works in the apicultural de- 

 partment and they are interesting, scholarly, 

 sound and devoid of all nonsense. 



This, his last work (Beekeepers' Directorj'). will 

 perhaps be regarded as his mngnum opus. No 

 honey producer can afford to go without it.

ALLEY'S I3RO]SrE-A.NE)-QUEEN TRAP. 



K. L. Taylor, President of the International American Beekeepers' 

 Association, has this to say of the Trap : 



"The Dronc-and- Queen Trap I find an indispensable convettience. I should feel like a 



duck on dry land tvithout it. It saves labor and 



prevents anxiety.
