I PREPARE FOR WINTER I 





DOVETAILED CHAFF-HIVES 



This is one of the very best hives we sell, and for wintering 

 bees, or for the production of comb honey, we do not know of 

 anything better. It is double-walled, made of a 8 -inch lumber 

 having lock corners. It is a trifle heavier than the regular one' 

 thickness %-> n ch hives, aDd will take the same hive-furniture, 

 supers, brood-frames, covers, and all; and, besides, it has the 

 advantage that it can be left on the summer stands the year 

 round; and winter losses, if directions are followed, will be 

 almost insignificant. 



A good many suppose that double-walled hives are used 

 only in winter; but in localities subject to cool nights and a 

 very hot, burning sun during the middle of the day, they are 

 none too warm for comb honey. Some of the best bee-keepers 

 of the country are beginning to learn that such a hive, having 

 well-protected supers, produce not only more but a better-filled 

 comb honey. Complete prices on our catalog. Ask for it.

ALEXANDER FEEDER £ 



We are prepared to furnish the Alexander feeder. We &■ 



make tbem 1M inches long, so they may be used with either an ^' 



S or 10 frame hive. With a 10 frame hive tbey will project 3 ^r 



inches beyond the hive for feeding, and the block may be laid ^- 



crosswise of the feeder, or be cut off as preferred. Wiih the 8- ^- 



frame hive the feeder projects 5 inches, and the block lies £: 



leogthwise. We soak the feeders in oii to preserve them and ^j 



fill the pores to prevent the feed from soaking in. Price, fin- ^j 



ished, including block, 25 cents each. Ten for $2; 50 for $9. ^. 



DOOLITTLE DIVISION-BOARD FEEDER % 



This is one of the most popular feeders we sell. Having £; 



the same outside dimensions as an ordinary division-board or ^\ 



brood-frame, it can be used in the brood-nest in the same way. ^; 



Its construction will be apparent from the illuetraiion. To ^. 



feed, all that is necessary is to shove the cover or quilt back ff^ 



just far enough so that the opening in the top-bar is exposed. ^; 



Through this pour the feed from an ordinary coffee-pot or tea- ^' 



pot; close the hive up, and the bees are thus supplied without •>' 



exposing the cluster, and without the use of smi>ke to drive the ^. 



bees down. Price, nailed, 30 cents each; 10, 82.50 In flat, ^: 



each, 20 cents; 10 for $1.80. Other styles other prices. Ask ^ 



for catalog. ^*
