CJueen-i'earing Apparatus. 



Beekeejiers who rear queens, whether by the 

 Alley method or by any other, should have the 

 ai>par;itus liere described. The Swaum isox and 

 QUEEN-NUUSEHY are articles that no person who 

 rears qne-ns ought to dispense with. 



By u-ing the swarmbox a large colony of bees 

 can be conlined a hug time or transported safely 

 hundreds ul miles. It is a very useful aiticle 

 about the apiary at all times during the season. 



Sent only by expiess, |)rice. $1.25. 



When a cohmy swarms audit is desirable to 

 preserve the queen-cells, and no nuclei aie at 

 liand, the Queea-nursery in such cases will be 

 louml invaluable; the (!ells can be ))laced in them 

 and they need no further 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 

 nninberof queen-nurseries in years past. 



The follDwing arii<-les are also used in rearing 

 queens, a lull descriittion of which can be found 

 in our Work upon queen-rearing.

Brooms for Brusliing Bees 

 from Coniljs. 



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

 purpoi-e as it does not injuie or irritate the bees, 

 and will do the work better and quicker than 

 anything else u-ed for the purpose.
