Queen-rearing Apx>aratus. 



Beekeepers who rear queens, whether by the 

 Alley method or by any other, should have the 

 apparatus here described. The Swarm box and 

 QUEKN-NUKSKKY are articles that no person who 

 rears queens oiiglit to dispense with. 



By Using the swarm-box a large colony of bees 

 can be confineil a long time or transported safely 

 huiMlieds ot miles. It is a very useful aiticle 

 about the apiary at all times during the season. 

 ■Sent only by ex|)ress, price, $1.25. 

 When a colony swarms and it is desirable to 

 preserve the queen-cells, and no nuclei are at 

 hand, the Queen-mn sery in such ca'-es will be 

 found invaluable; the cells can be placed in them 

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

 Virgin or fei 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 found 

 ill our work upon queen-rearing.

 ami will do tlie work better ami quicker than 

 anything else used lor the purpose.
