Is devised by a practical bee-keeper for profitable use ; double walls, with either dead 

 air space or chaff packing ; inside walls are porous, allowing all moisture to escape from

 stores ; both sides are removable ; frames hung upon metal supports on the top of the end 

 walls (not in rabbets) and are easily handled ; brood chamber large or small, as desired, and 

 may be as complete with one frame as with a dozen ; space for 96 pounds surplus honey 

 within six inches of the brood nest. No colony need be lost during the winter months in 

 this hive. No melting combs in this hive during the hot weather. Positively

SHUCK'S BOSS BEE FEEDER, 



Patented June 11, 1878, 



Removes all the obstacles in the way of feeding, by its simplicity, cheapness, and its adapta- 

 bility to the purposes required. It is to be placed at the entrance outside the hive, and 

 supplied with sugar syrup, or syrup and flour any time in the day, without annoyance from 

 bees, either to the bee-keeper or the colony being fed ; no bees can reach the food except 

 from the inside of the hive. Every bee-keeper appreciates the advantage of feeding to 

 supply short stores for the colony, or to stimulate and encourage breeding, previous to an 

 expected flow of honey. 



Prof. A. J. Cook says : "I think very highly of your feeder, and only find fault with the 

 price." 



G. M. Doolittle says : "You are just a shouting when you say, 'I trust my Boss Bee 

 Feeder will please you.' It is the best bee-feeder 1 ever saw, in ease of feeding, simplicity 

 and for general use. When I see a good thing I like to say so. It is worth no less because it 

 is patented." 



D. D. Palmer says : "I received your Boss Bee Feeder and would say of it, that I like it 

 better than any I ever saw ; in fact, it seems to be all that could be desired. It is all you 

 claim for it, being so convenient to get at, and being so readily^filled without disturbing the 

 bees or being to the trouble of taking off the cover."
