Swarming Done Away With 



In addition to continuing the several interesting articles by Alexander, and 

 other noted contributors, which are running in GLEANINGS IN BEE CUL- 

 TURE, the publishers announce as a special feature for the remaining issues of the 

 year, a series of articles on the CONTROL OF SWARMING FOR COMB- 

 HONEY PRODUCTION. These by bee-keepers who have experimented to the 

 point where experimenting is done, and the crown of success has been awarded.

rCDUiN DEC RDIICU Some months ago Mr. R. F. Holtermann called our attention to a bee-brush which he received 

 llfcKnlAN l5tfc"ijI\U5ll from Germany, made of genuine bristle or horsehair. He had used cne a whole season, washing 



it out often, and it appeared to be a6 good at the end of the season as at the be- 

 ginning. He considered it so far ahead of any thing he had ever seen or used 

 that he wanted no other. We are now provided with a stock which we offer at 

 25 cents each; by mail, 30 cents. The bristles are black, about two inches long, 

 extending eight inches on the handle.

inches long, so they be used with either an 8 or 111 frame hive. With a 10 

 frame hive ihey will project 3 inches beyond the hive for feeding, and the 

 block may be laid crosswise of the feeder or be cut off as pieferred. With 

 the 8-frame hive the feeder projects 5 inches, and the block lies lengthwise. 

 We soak the feeders in oil to preserve them, and fill the pores to prevent the 

 feed from soaking in. Price, finished, including block, 25 cents each; 10 for 

 $2.00; 50 for $9.00.
