Queen-rearing Apparatvis. 



BeekeeiJers who rear queens, whether by the 

 Alley method or by any other, should have the 

 apparatus here described. The Swarmbox and 

 Queen-nursery are articles that no person who 

 rears queens ought to dispense with. 



By u.-^ing the swarmbox a large colony of bees 

 can be confined a long time or transijorted safely 

 hundreils 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 

 hand, the Qneen-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. 

 Vii-gin or fei tile 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 used in rearing 

 queens, a full description of which can be found 

 in our work upon queen-rearing.

 Thirty Ye.\rs among the Bees, and send all 

 by express for $450 



All these articles can be packed in the swarm- 

 box and sent safely by express or freight. 



Brooms foi" 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 woik better and quicker than 

 anything else used for the purpose.
