THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL 



June 14, 1906 



Swarming Done Away With 



The illustration shows one of the A. K. Ferris hives under manipula- 

 tion for Comb Honey Production. 



Every bee-keeper will want to read about Mr. Ferris' hives, which are 

 so large that they have to be handled with a small derrick. 



Another important contributor on tbis great swarming problem is Mr. G. M. Doo- 

 little, author of "Queen-Rearing." Mr. Doolittle's plan is no doubt a perfect solution 

 for localities where the same conditions as those in his own apiary exist. 



Photographs illustrating every point will be used in connection with these arti- 

 cles, and every effort will be made to have each thought so clear that any bee-keeper 

 can immediately apply the teachings to his own apiary. Never has the outlook for so 

 many interesting contributions been brighter than it is at the present time. Every bee- 

 keeper who does not take Gleanings will surely not want to miss the remaining is- 

 sues of 1906. 



If you have not seen the first installment of this series, send iu your name for a 

 three-number trial subscription which will be given free of charge. The April and May 

 numbers will be mailed to you, and by June you will undoubtedly be so interested that 

 you will want to take out a six months' subscription at least, the special price of which 

 will be 25 cents. 



If you choose to remit at once, make your request for the above issues 

 in addition to the regular numbers for six months beginning June 15th, 

 and we will send them free of charge.

SECTIONS

Sections are in great demand at this season of the year. We are running 

 full capacity, but can hardly supply the call for No. 1 Sections of all sizes. 



Place orders at once, or you are apt to be disappointed. We have a very 

 large supply of No. 2 grade of Sections. These Sections are as good as some offer 

 for No. 1. Not being snow-white — but having a tinge of cream grades them No. 2. 

 Give this grade a trial this season. It will cost you 25c a thousand less. 



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 6oaking in. Price, finished, including block, 25c each; 

 10 for $2 ; 50 for $9. 



GERMAN BEE-BRUSH 



Some months ago Mr. K. 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 as at the begin- 

 ning. He considered it so far ahead of anything he 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 cent6 each ; by mail, 30 cents. The bristles 

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

 Made of while hair it would cost 5 cents more.
