Something New=The Ideal Hive=Tool 



C" Bee-keepers have long needed a special Tool to work among the hives during the bee- 

 eeason. The one shown here was invented by Wm. Muench, a Minnesota bee-keeper, some 

 years ago, but it was not on the market before. We have lately bought this Tool, and ail 

 rights, from Mr, Muenoh's widow, and have had the first lot made. They are ready for de- 

 livery now. 



( This picture is exactly one-half the size.) 



r* DESCRIPTION.— The Ideal Hive-Tool is made of high-t'rade malleable iron, much like wroueht iron. 

 8J^ inches lonK. The middle part is 1 1-16 inches wide and l-'S'l thick. Tlie sniuller end is !;« inches lent;. ^ 

 inch wide, and 7-:i2 thick, ending' like a screw-driver. The larger end is wedjze-shaped. having a sharp semi- 

 circular edge, making it almost perfect for prying up covers, supers, etc.. as it does not mar the wood. 



What Dr. Miller and Miss Wilson Say of It: 



In the first edition (1903) of Dr. Miller's "Forty Years Among the Bees," page 5S, he 

 says; •' Of all the hive-tools I have tried, I like best the Muench tool." On Jan. V, 1907, he 

 wrote us saying he thought " just as much of the tool as ever." 



Miss Wilson, Dr. Miller's assistant, says this of the Ideal Hive-Tool; "It is an ideal tool. 

 In fact, I don't see how it could be improved upon. I atn sure we would feel utterly lost in 

 the apiary without it You will have to try one yourself if you want to know its worth."
