 Queen-TSeai-ing: Apparatus. 

 Beekeeiiers who rear queens, whether by the 

 Alley metlind or by anv other, should have the 

 apparatus here described. The SwakmtnG 

 Box and Qtii'".EX-NURSF.RY 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 lonsr time or trans- 

 ported safelv hundreds of miles. It is a very 

 useful article about the apiary at all tunes 

 durinff the season, 

 ."^ent only bv express, price $1.25. 

 When a'colonv swarms and it is desirable 

 to preserve the queen-cells, and no nuclei are. 

 at hand. tbeOneen-nurserv in such cases will 

 be found invaluable; the cells can be placed 

 in them and thev need no further care for a 

 week or ten davs later. Virarin or fertile 

 queens can be kept in the nursery for several 

 weeks. We have sold a large number of 

 queen-nurseries in vears past. 



We use the following articles in rearing 

 queens, a full description of which can be 

 found in the 



" lieelteepcrs' Handy 

 Boole."

All these articles can be packed in the

Brooms for TSrusTilng Hees 

 from Comhs. . 



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

 purpose as it does not injure or irritate trie 

 bees and will do the work better and quicker 

 than anything else used for the purpose.
