J. W. BAILEY, 



Inventor and Sole Manufacturer of the 



BAILEY SWARM CATCHER. 



Patent applied for. 



In presenting the same, we are happy in knowing 

 by our own experince, and the statements of wthers, 

 that we are offering an implement that no one who 

 keeps bees can afford to do without. Because with- 

 out it your bees will often swarm into talK trees 

 where it is very difficult to get them. In its use there 

 will be no more chasing them across the fields, no 

 more defacing choice trees and shrubs, no more 

 smoking them from difficult places, no more swarms 

 going together, and no more clipping the wings of the 

 queens to compel them to stay in the hive, for the 

 Bailey Swarm Catcher can be placed at any hive, and 

 never fails to catch bees when swarming. 



Should four swarms issue at the same time, we feel 

 safe in saying that one person can adjust four catch- 

 ers in a single minute, and thus keep each swarm 

 separate. 



A child ten years old can catch your bees, and they 

 can be hived at pleasure. 



As soon as you see the bees beginning to swarm, 

 then it is brought into use, and the bees that have es- 

 caped will alight upon the outside, and try to get in. 



The Swarm Catcher is covered with wire cloth, and 

 can be set at any angle, and by its use, and a queen 

 cage, a swarm can be compelled to stay in any hive. 



One Swarm Catcher, boxed and delivered at the 

 cars, $6.00. Two or more, $5.00 each. 



Full directions sent with each Catcher. 



At Present will ship none to Indiana or Kentucky, 

 as those States are being canvassed.

 plain, and send by Postal Money Order, Draft or 

 Registered Letter.
