THE IMPROVED SCHAMU 



PATENT ROLLER ENTRANCE 



HIVE BOTTOM 



The Schamu Im- 

 proved Patent Roller 

 Entrance gives the 

 bee-keeper several ap- 

 pliances in one. It is 

 compact, simple, eiB- 

 cient and inexpensive. 

 It furnishes its own 

 storage room, if the 

 bee-keeper decides to 

 remove one roller or 

 another, so that there 

 is never anything lost 

 or get into the way in 

 another part of the 

 bee house. Here you 

 have it all, complete 

 bottom board, drone 

 trap, feeder, ventilat- 

 or, that saves lifting 

 the hives when same 

 are full of bees and honey. Shallow bottom for summer and a deep one for winter. 



The price is reasonable, being only a trifle more than the cost of a common alley drone 

 trap, feeder, and ordinary bottom board. This invention affords comfort, profit and satisfac- 

 tion, and one swarm saved when you are not with the bees, buys several bottom boards. 

 When you consider that when the workers fly away, you not only lose your queen, but your 

 honey crop as far as that hive is concerned. With the patent under your hives, if they do 

 swarm out, they come back. All the bee-keeper loses is once in a while an old queen. At 

 the end of the honey flow you have a fine crop of honey in your supers and lower chambers 

 bubbling over with full grown bees and honey. Then introduce a young queen, say Aug. 1st, 

 or when your honey crop is over, and your swarms will be ready for winter with plenty of 

 stores young, vigorous queens and nearly all young bees. The three main essentials for 

 wintering well.

 Dear Dr.: 



I have just received 

 the last Bottom Board 

 you shipped me during 

 our State fair, and will 

 confess you have some- 

 thing of value for the 

 bee-keeper. I have 

 found in my trials of 

 the different feeders, 

 that the bottom is the 

 best place to feed from; 

 am satisfied to say that 

 your Bottom Board will 

 do all that is claimed 

 by its inventor and 

 more. Yours truly, 



T. W. Ware,
