PURE ITALIAN QUEENS,

J. POMETTA, of Gudo, 



Canton Ticino, Switzerland. 



I shall start for America with a lot of the very best 

 of purely fertilized Italian Queens, in June, and ex- 



fieet to be in Chicago, 111., with them about July 15, 

 S79. I solicit orders for them, sent to me in care of 

 the 4*\ierican Bee Journal office (by permission),

 S.">.(M) each. A liberal discount on orders of 

 five or more. 



I have been supplying Pure Italian Queens to Mr. 

 C. N. Abbott, Editor of the British Bee Journal, and

 Queens at the Bee and Honey Shows of England.

Bingham Smoker Corner. 



Otley, Iowa, June 10, 1879. 

 My apiary is increasing, and I am very busy. It 

 seems to me that I could hardly have success in the 

 bee business without the American Bee Journal 

 and Bingham's Smoker. Please send one of Bing- 

 ham's Standard Smokers with rag-burning attach- 

 ment, immediately. W. C. Nutt. 



DePere, Wis., June 12, 1879. 

 Many thanks for promptness ; the smokers have 

 all been received, and give the greatest satisfaction. 

 My own has now been in constant use for three 

 years, lighted every day and burning all daylong 

 during the bee season, and though I see new ones 

 around me, I never wish or think of taking one. It 

 has gone out but three times, and then from my own 

 carelessness. Frances Dunham. 



Milledgeville, 111., June 3d, 1879. 

 The two dozen smokers duly received, also your 

 beautiful and well made honey knife. It is a model 

 of neatness and durability. I predict that I shall like 

 it. It is, like your smokers, well made, from first 

 class material. That is the way I do ; I use good ma- 

 terial, and spare no pains in doing accurate work. 

 You have the inside track on smokers ; the principle 

 is clear, and I think cannot be dodged by others. 

 Your smokers beat the world for power and quick 

 action. F. A. Snell. 



SOMETHING OLD! 



OLDEST AND BEST ! 



The old, reliable, original, direct- 

 draft Smoker. 



This Smoker is so perfect that it 

 has never been improved. The 

 more exact the copy the better the 

 Smoker and the plainer the in- 

 fringement. Beware of all new 

 direct-draft Smokers — Bingham 

 owns all there is of value in them. 

 Every seller and user is liable. Our 

 Smoker has been in use two years 

 longer than any bellows Smoker 

 now made. If you want the best 

 Smoker and no further expense, 

 buy only the Bingham. If you want 

 to encourage invention and not 

 theft, buy only the Bingham.
