Alexander's Bee-feeders 



are now manufactured by The A. I. Root Co., Medina, 

 Ohio, and by Charles Quackenbush, Barneville, Scho- 

 harie Co., N. Y. These are the most practical bee- 

 feeders that have ever been used in feeding bees, and 

 why? Simply because you can feed a colony in less 

 than 20 seconds, either in the winter or summer; and 

 although the colony may be very weak and the wea- 

 ther cold the bees will empty the feeder at once. 

 There is no danger of robbing, neither will there be 

 any heat lost from the colony, nor a bee killed nor a 

 drop of syrup wasted. The above advantages can not 

 be said of any other bee-feeder. Try them this spring 

 and build up the working; force of your colonies so you 

 can have twice the surplus honey in the fall that you 

 would have if you lost the best of your clover harvest 

 in rearing bees that mature only when the harvest is 

 over. See article on Spring Feeding in this number.
