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 ? s -inch lumber, 

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

 thickness %-ineh hives, and will take the sa me 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 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 preserve them and 

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

 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 illustration. To 

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

 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 smoke to drive the 

 bees down. Price, nailed, 30 cents each ; 10, $2.50. In flat, 

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

 for catalog.
