. . . Reep Bees . . . 



Few realize that they can keep bees. They are afraid 

 of stings. If you learn the habits of the bee and how 

 to handle them there is no danger in the least. They 

 can be made very profitable. Few specialties are so 

 much so. Two or three colonies with a little care can be 

 made to supply a family with honey, and a surplus for 

 selling. Bee-keeping is a fascinating occupation. It is a 

 fine fad. The more you learn about the little fellows the 

 more you like them. 



Our printed matter is a great help to those who are 

 studying the bee. It will teach you how to become a suc- 

 cessful bee-keeper. We shall be pleased to send, free of 

 charge to those who are interested, any of the following 

 pamphlets: "My First Season's Experience with the 

 Honey-bee," " Habits of the Honey-bee," " Book for Bee- 

 keepers," "A Morning with the Bees," "Outfits for 

 Beginners." Also ask for our general catalog. 



If you wish to purchase an outfit of bees, write us. We 

 can furnish you with every thing you need. We have eight 

 branch houses, and many agents all over the United 

 States, and can supply you promptly, and at a saving of 

 freight.
