Queen-rearing Appax'atus. 



Beekeepers who rear queens, whether by the 

 Alley method or by any other, should have the 

 apparatus here described. The Swakmbox and 

 QUEEN-NUR.SEUY are articles tliat no person who 

 rears queen.; ought to dispense with. 



By using the swai-m-box a large colony of bees 

 can be confined a long time or transported safely 

 hundreds 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 Queen-nursery in such cases will be 

 louncl invaluable; the cells can be jjlaced in them 

 and they 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

 Thirty Years among the Bees, and send all 

 by express for $1.50 



Ail these articles can be packed in the swarm- 

 box and sent safely by express or freight. 



ISrooms for Brushing Bees 

 fx'om Comhs. 



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.
