Queen-x-earing A.ppai'atus. 



Beekeepers who rear queens, whether by the 

 Alley method or by any other, should have the 

 .-ipiiaratus here described. The Swakm-box and 

 QUEBN-NURSEKY are articles that no person who 

 rears queens ought to dispense with. 



By using the swarm-box a large colony of bees 

 can be confined a long time or transported safely 

 hnndreils of miles. It is a very useful aiticle 

 about the apiary at all times during the season. 



Sent only by express, price, $1.25. 



When a colony swarms and it is desirable to 

 preserve the queen-cells, and no nuclei are at 

 liand, the Queen-nursery in such cases will be 

 ibuiKl invaluable; the cells can be placed in them 

 and they need no further care for a week or more. 

 Virgin or fertile queens can be kept in the nurs- 

 ery for several weeks. We have sold a large 

 number of queen-nurseries in years past. 



The following articles are also useol in rearing 

 queens, a full description of which can be found 

 111 our work upon queen-rearing.

All these articles can be packed in the swarm- 

 bo.x and sent safely by express or freight. 



ISi'ooms for Brushing Bees 

 from Combs. 



We find a small "corn-broom" best for this 

 jjurpose as it does not injure or Irritate the bees, 

 and will do the work better and quicker than 

 anything else used for the purpose.
