GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



SPECIAL BARGAINS 



In rearranging our stock we find a number of 

 items no longer listed in our catalog, which some 

 of our readers may be glad to get at the bargain 

 prices at which we offer them to reduce stock or 

 close out entirely. We list a number of these spe- 

 cials on this page, and may add others later as these 

 are disposed of. 



HIVE-HANDLES. 



We have a surplus stock of handhole cleats such 

 as we formerly included with all dovetailed hives, 

 and which have been listed at 75 cts. for 100, and 

 will dispose of them to those who want them at 25 

 cts. per 100; $2.00 per 1000. 



OI/D-STYLE DOVETAILED CHAFF HIVES WITH BQTTOM 

 TO NAIL FAST. 



Of these old-style chaff hives we have a number of 

 eight-frame packed 5 in a package, which we offer 

 to close out as follows: YW 5/8, one story, eight 

 frames, 12 packages, five hives each, at $8.00. 



NO. 2 OR B GRADE THICK-TOP STAPLE-SP.^CH FRAMES. 



In culling over the material cut into Hoffman 

 frames, we find pieces with slight defects which we 

 do not want to put into perfect stock, but which are 

 usable, and too good to throw into the furnace for 

 fuel. We have accumulated some stock of such 

 frames, which are packed 100 in a box, and offer 

 them at $2.25 per 100; $10.00 per 500. These are 

 a bargain at the price, to one who is not too par- 

 ticular as to what he uses. 



1% H. P. SIXTY-SPEED ENGINE. 



We have in stock two of the engines we formerly 

 listed as sixty speed before adopting the Bu.sy Bee 

 engine. These are mounted on wheels, and have a 

 counter shaft bv means of which 60 different speeds 

 can be obtained by the various chanses of pulley 

 sizes on the counter. This engine sold for $60.00. 

 We offer these to close out at $45.00 each. 



WHEELBARROW WHEELS. 



We have a number of extra steel wheels for wheel- 

 barrows, which we offer at a special price of $1.25 

 each, or, including a pair of springs with bearings. 

 for $2.00. These wheels are 20 inches in diameter, 

 with lV2-inch tire, and solid cast hub holding spokes 

 and axle in place. These wheels regularly sell at 

 $1.75, and springs at 50 cts. each. 



SUPERS FOR EXTRACTING OR CHUNK HONKY. 



We are offering, while they last, the following 

 bargains in nailed supers for extracted honey. Some 

 have been slightly used, and are in good condition. 

 Prices f. o. b. Medina. 



100 D9/10, nailed and painted, with top and 

 bottom starters, nine frames in each, new. Sell new 

 for $1.20; offered at $6.00 for 10; $55.00 per 100. 



100 8/10 supers, no paint. Sell new for 85 cts.; 

 offered at $4.50 per 10; $40.00 per 100. 



Tlie first lots are the 5% -inch supers with hanger 

 cleats and shallow Danz. frames. The last lot are 

 the same depth supers with shallow Hoffman frames 

 hanging in rabbeted ends. Either style may be used 

 for extracting or divisible brood-chambers. The price 

 at which we offer them all nailed up is much below 

 the regular price of same shipped in flat. 



ALEXANDER FEEDERS FOR EIGHT FRAME HIVES. 



The Alexander feeder as we now make it is adapt- 

 ed to either eight or ten frame hives. Formerly we 

 made a shorter length for the eight frame than for 



the ten frame hive. In cleaning .up old stock we 

 find 21 of these eight-frame feeders which we offer, 

 to close out, at half regular price — viz., 15 cts. each; 

 $1.35 for 10. 



TIN COMB-UUCKETS. 



While these are listed in the catalog in one line 

 at $1.50 each, their convenience in carrying combs 

 to the extractor shut up from robbers is not set 

 forth. We have a surplus stock, and offer them, to 

 reduce the number on hand, at $1.25 each. You 

 can place four Hoffman frames or five non-spaced 

 frames of Langstroth size in each bucket. 



JONES HONEY-KNIVES. 



This is a form of honey-knife used largely in 

 Canada, and preferred to the Bingham by those who 

 have tried it. The Hade is IV2 inches wide, and a 

 flat V or triangular shape. We had a lot made to 

 supply a call we had, and still have in stock 28 of 

 them." We offer them at 75 cts. each. Mailed as a 

 pound parcel when packed. 



TUMBLERS HOLDING C I/2 OZ., 40 DOZ. TO BARREL. 



Having a surplus stock of honey-tumblers packed 

 40 dozen to barrel, including tin tops and wax- 

 packed liners, we offer them for a short time, to 

 reduce stock, at $6.00 per barrel, or $5.70 in 5-bar- 

 rel lots, shipped direct from Medina. 



SHIPPING-CASES FOR 12 AND 24 SECTIONS. 



When we discontinued listing shipping-cases to 

 hold 12 sections we still had riuite a stock of various 

 styles on hand, many of which are still in stock. 

 We have also some of the older styles of cases for 

 24 sections of various sizes. We offer these various 

 cases to close out at the following bargain prices. 

 Here is an opportunity to lay in a stock of cases 

 preparatory to the honey crop near at hand at very 

 low prices. None of these cases, excejjt as noted, 

 are large enough to take sections with cartons or 

 corrugated liners, except the bottom sheet. 12-lb. 2

 we cannot use for one reason or another. These are
