NO. 2 SECTIONS 



Different Styles of Sections 



Style / Beeway, commonly called closed top. 



m 



Style 2 Beeway, open top and bottom. 

 This style is sent when no other is specified. 



Style 4 Beeway, open on all four sides. 



5 P 



Style 5 Plain, do beeways. Used with fences. 



Most people seem to think that No. 2 sections are worthless, but 

 in looking into the question, you will see they are the same as No. 1 

 except color. We have an unusually large stock of all standard sizes 

 both Beeway and Plain that we have graded No. 2, and the quality is 

 far above the average for No. 2 grade. Indeed, we believe they are 

 superior to many so-called No. 1 grade on the market to-day. The 

 great majority are perfect in all respects except that they are some- 

 what creamy in color. The wood is as 6trong, and the workmanship 

 fully equal to the No. 1 grade. Our surplus stock of No. 1 grade is 

 exhausted, and we may have difficulty in making them fast enough to 

 supply all orders promptly. In many cases, it may be an advantage 

 to get No. 2 grade promptly rather than have orders delayed waiting 

 for No. 1. Your honey will look a6 well, and sell as well in No. 2 sec- 

 tions as in No. 1. Let us have your orders for a larger proportion of 

 the No. 2 grade. We are running overtime on both Sections and Comb 

 Foundation in an effort to supply them as fast as needed.

GERMAN BEE-BRUSH 



Some months ago Mr. R. F. Holtermann called our attention to a 

 bee-brush which he received from Germany, made of genuine bristle 

 or horsehair. He had used one a whole season, washing it out often, 

 and it appeared to be as good at the end of the season a6 at the begin- 

 ning. He considered it so far ahead of anything be had ever seen or 

 used that he wanted no other. We concluded if it was so good for 

 him it must be equally good for others. We are now provided with a 

 stock which we offer at 25 eeDts each ; by mail, 30 cents. The bristles 

 are black, and about 2 inches loDg, extending 8 inches on the handle. 

 Made of white hair it would cost 5 cents more. 



ALEXANDER FEEDER 



We are prepared to furnish the Alexander Feeder. We make them 

 19 inches long so they may be used with either an 8 or 10 frame hive. 

 With a 10 frame hive they will project 3 inches beyond the hive for 

 feeding, and the block may be laid crosswise of the feeder or be cut 

 off as preferred. With the 8-frame hive the feeder projects 5 inches 

 and the block lies lengthwise. We soak the feeders in oil to prevent 

 the feed from soaking in. Price, finished, including block, 25c each ; 

 10 for S2 ; 50 for $9. 



THE. PEARL AGNES HIVE 



A complete little hive. Just right for teachers of small schools, 

 and others who want to study the bee for a short time at a little ex- 

 pense with 5 brood-frames .t'.xS, and super holding 20 sections 2x2%- 

 xl 1 .. with necessary fences, complete with foundation at the following 

 price: Each, nailed and painted, S2 50; in flat. $1.75: 10, in flat, $15. 



Filled with bees and untested Italian queen, this hive can be sent 

 at low cost by express. We expect to make deliveries from apiaries 

 in various parts of the country after June 1st. Price of complete hive 

 Pearl Agnes Hive with bees and queen, with smoker, veil and book of instructions, $5.
