 The wise thluK Is to have enough to 

 last throuKli the sprhiK. and .l.'i or ilii

Mr. W. Z Hutchinson, editor of the Bee-Keep- 

 ers' Review, Flint, Mich., says: " As workers, 

 I have never seeu them equaled. They seem 

 possessed of a steady, quiet determination that 

 enables them to lay up surplus ahead of others. 

 Easier bees to handle I have never seen." 



My queens are all bred from my best long"-

Meal eive-Tool-"Best on the Market" 



Bee-keepers have long needed a special tool to aid them in properly manipulating the 

 hive-parts during the bee-season. Tbe one sbowD here does the work to perfection. 



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

 DESCRH'TIiiN.-The Ideal Hive-Tool is made of higti-izrade malleable iron, much like wroueht iron, 

 smncheBloni: Tlie middle Dart is 1 1-16 inches wide and 7-:« thick. The smaller end is l'^ inches long, >i 

 inch wide and 7-32 thick, endine like a screw-driver. The larger end 19 wedge-shaped, havinii a sharp semi- 

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



What Some Bee-Experts Say of It. 



Louis C. Dadant (son of C, P. Dadant) wrote us May 10, 1907: "Tour Hive-Tool is 

 certainly the best on the market, and after having used one of them no bee-keeper would do 



without it." , „ ,, ^-. ^ 



In the first edition (1903) of Dr. Miller's " Forty i ears Among the Bees," page 58, he 



says: " Of all the hive-tools I have tried, I like best the Muenob tool." On Jan. ~, 1907, he 



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



Miss Wilson, Dr. Miller'sassistant, says this of the Ideal Hive-Tool: "It is an ideal 



tool. In fact, I ilon't see how it could be improved upon. 1 am 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." „
