INCREASE. 



Don't depend entirely upon swarming for your increase. It's too 

 slow and uncertain. But how increase? Swarthmore tells of a way in 

 his delightful little book entitled "Increase"— a natural way, simple 

 and safe, no labor, little trouble. Colonies formed on this plan will 

 work like prime swarms, and store a surplus. No up-to-date bee-keep- 

 er can afford not to have a copy of this work. Price 25 cts. a copy 

 postpaid. 



SIMPLIFIED QUEEN-REARING— A revised edi- 

 tion of this book just out. It tells the honey pro- 

 ducer how to rear queens by the very simplest 

 method ever published. Good queens for little 

 money and little trouble, in just an effective and 

 economical plan for the bee-keeper who works 

 for profit. Price 25 cts. a copy, postpaid. 



CELL-GETTING.— The plan that has revolutionized 

 queen- rearing throughout the world. The entire 

 process is fully explained and illustrated by photos 

 from actual life, and vividity showing all the la- 

 bor-saving points in the best cup system ever in- 

 vented. Price, postpaid. 50 cents. 



Swarthmore Queen-Rearing Tools. 



The simplicity of these devices places the art of queen-rearing in 

 the hands of the average bee-keeper. Every honey-producer can be 

 his own queen-rearer. Full directions go with each outfit. Here is a 

 chance not only to rear your own queen but for your neighbors at a 

 profit.
