Qiieen-Ttearingj Appnratns. 



Beekeciiers who rear qcieens, w both or by the 

 Allevmethod orbvanvotlier, shoulilhave the 

 anparntus here described. The S\v.4RMIKG 

 Box and QuEEN-NUR-SKTiV are articles that 

 no person who rears queens can dispense 

 with. 



Bv using the swarming-box a large colony 

 of bees can be confined a long time or trans- 

 ported saCelv hundreds of miles. It is a very 

 useful article about the apiary at all times 

 durinar the season. 



Sent only bv express, price $1.25. 



When a colony swarms and it is desirable 

 to iireserve the fjueen-cells. and no nuclei are 

 at hand, the Queen-nursery in such cases will 

 be found invaluable; the cells can be placed 

 in them and tliey need no further care for a 

 week or ten ilays later. Virgin or fertile 

 queens can be k^tit in the nursery for several 

 weeks. We have sold a large number of 

 queen-nurserie* in years tiast. 



We use the following articles in rearing 

 queens, a full description of which can be 

 found in the

Brooms foi* Brnslning Bees 

 from Coml>s. 



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

 liurpose as it does not injure or irritate the 

 bees, and will do the work better and quicker 

 than anything else used for the purpose.
