Queen-rearing Appai-atus. 



Beekeepers who rear queens, whether by the 

 Alley method or by anv other, should have the 

 ai.paratus here described. The Swarmbox and 

 QUEEN-NUKSKKY are articles that no person who 

 rears queens ought to dispense with. 



By usiTig the swarmbox a large colony of bees 

 can be conflned a long time or transported safely 

 huiidie.ls of miles. It is a very nselul aiticle 

 about tlie apiary at all times during the season.

When a' C(dony swarms and it is desirable to 

 preserve the queen-cells, and no nuclei are at 

 hand, the Queen-nursery in such cases will be 

 found invaluable; the cells can be placed in them 

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

 Virgin or lei tile queens can be kept in the nurs- 

 ery for several weeks. We have sold a large 

 number ot queen-nurseries in years past. 



The following articles are also used in rearing 

 queens, a full description of which can be tound 

 in our work upon queen-rearing.

Brooms for Brusliing Bees 

 fronx Comtos. 



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

 purpose as it does not injuie or irritate the bees, 

 and will do the work better and quicker than 

 anything else used for the purpo.se.
