A Queen=Cell Detector . 



Mr. R. F. Holtermann has invented what he calls a 

 Queen-cell Detector. Near the center of the brood -nest 

 he makes a very attractive place for the bees to build 

 queen-cells. If they build cells anywhere, it is almost 

 certain to be in this spot. Then he has an arrangement 

 whereby it is the work of only a moment for the bee- 

 keeper to get a view of this spot, and see if cells are be- 

 ing- built— all this without any opening of the hive, or 



any handling of the supers or brood-combs. This plan 

 is described in the Bee-keepers' Review for June. Il- 

 lustrations showing two views of the arrangement— 

 both inside and outside of the hive. 



Send ten cents for this number, and the ten cents 

 may apply on any subscription sent in during the year.
