Qvieen-rearing Apparatus. 



Beekeepers who rear queens, whether by the 

 Alley method or by any other, should have the 

 apparatus here described. The Swarjibox and 

 QUEEX-NURSERY are articles that no peison who 

 rears queens ought to dispense with. 



By using the sw.irmbox a large colony of bees 

 can be conlined a long time or transported safely 

 hundreds of miles. It is a very useful aiticle 

 about the apiary at all times during the season. 



feent only by express, price, $1.25. 



When a colony swarms and it is desirable to 

 preserve the queen-cells, and no nuclei are at 

 hand, the Queen-nurserv in such cases will be 

 found invaluable; the cells can be placeil in them 

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

 Virgin or fei tile queens can be kept in tlie nurs- 

 ery for several weeks. We have sold a large 

 number of queen-nurseries in years past. 



The following articles are also used in rearing 

 queens, a full description of which can be found 

 in our work upon queen-rearing.

All these articles can be packed in the swarm- 

 box and sent safely by express or freight. 



Bx'ooms tor Brusliing Bees 

 from Combs. 



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

 purpose as it does not injure or irritate the bees, 

 and will do the work better and quicker than 

 anything else used for the purpose.
