Dear Sir: — Your Foundation Fastener and 

 Section Press works to perfection. It not on- 

 ly cuts the foundailon any desired iengrth. but 

 presses the same in such a manner to the sec- 

 tion that It never can pet loose. The work be- 

 injr very accurate, operation easy, and the 

 price very modeiate. I ordered another of 

 your machines. No apiary running for comb 

 honey should be without one. 



very truly yours, L. Kreutzinqer.

 Mr. McCartnev— 



Dear Sir:— The machine I bought of you 

 works like a charm, especially when I use top 

 and bottom starters. It is so easy to operate 

 it Is a pleasure to work with it. I would not 

 take double the price it cost. If I could not 

 get another one. Yours truly,

Swarming and Working. 



I have had two swarms to date. Bees 

 are working fine. Chas. Becker.

Honey Prospect Fine. 



Bees here have been swarming for 

 three weeks, and the prospect for honey 

 is fine. W. A. Finlay.

Bees in Fine Condition. 



Bees are in fine condition 

 colonies. The first swarm

Plenty of White Clover. 



This will be a good year for bees If 

 the weather ever gets warm. My bees 

 wintered well, losing only one colony out 

 of 29. There is plenty of white clover 

 this year. D. R. Rosebrough. 



Clark Co., 111., May 24. 



Good Prospect for Fruit. 



Bees are doing fine. The blackberry 

 is in full bloom. I have never seen a 

 better prospect for fruit than there is 

 here. Some of my bees swarmed May 

 22, but the queen would not come out of 

 the hive, so they all went back. I have 

 persuaded the farmers to sow sweet 

 clover, and try feeding it to the hogs. 

 White clover Is in bloom here.

Another Entrance Feeder. 



On page 289, a Mr. S. A. Deacon 

 (probably meaning a South African Dea- 

 con) describes an entrance feeder that 

 he uses, which seems to me to be rather 

 fussy kind of a thing, but it may seem 

 very simple to him. But let that be as 

 it may, inasmuch as so many have given 

 their plans of feeding, both inside and 

 at the entrance of the hive, 1 wish to 

 give a brief description of an entrance 

 feeder that I have used for the last four 

 years, which I think is a simple, easy 

 and safe way of feeding. 



Get a little tindlsh, made say 8 inches 

 long, 3}i wide, and li-i inches deep; 

 then take an empty cigar-box — take the 

 lid and one side off — fill the dish as full 

 as it can be handled without spilling, set 

 it down on the bottom-board in front of 

 the entrance, put a float on it for the 

 bees to stand on, then put the cigar-box 

 over the dish and press it in tight 

 against the front of the hive. The bees 

 can reach the dish only from the inside 

 of the hive. It takes but a few seconds 

 to fill the dish, sot It down and cover it, 

 and It doesn't disturb the bees In the 

 least. This, of course, should be done 

 In the evening, and it Is well to go 

 around the hives In the morning and 

 lift the dishes and leave the entrance 

 open. If the dishes are empty, set them 

 upon the hive ready for the next feed- 

 ing. But If not empty, take them to 

 the bee-bouse and set them away until
