We manufacture this right here, out of clean 

 Southern wax which is superior to all other. 

 We are careful to retain the original fra- 

 grant odor of the hives. It takes skill and 

 care to do this. If you desire to have your 

 beeswax worked up in this way send it here. 

 We wish large quantities of wax from asso- 

 ciations to be worked into comb foundation.

demons' strain of three-banded Italians hai 

 no equal. Mr. M. R. Juckett, Poultney, Vt. 

 writes : " I have queens from seven dirferen 

 breeders, and yours are the only ones whict 

 have produced honey in the sections." ( 



Mr. N. L. Stevens, president of New York Bee-, 

 Keepers' Society, Moravia, N. Y., whn purchased 

 of nie in 1907, 46 of my eheajiest untested queens, 

 writes Jan. 22, 1909 : " The queens I purchased ot 

 you in 1907 proved very satisfactory. I boug-ht 

 over 300 queens that season from 10 different 

 breeders, and your bees averaged the best of 

 any of them the past season, and only one strain 

 was a close conipetitt)r. Your bees built up very 

 rapidly, and were jjimd honev-gatherers." 



Why pay a high price lor the common kind 

 when others repor; such results? If you don't 

 try a few of my queens we shall both lose money.

Celluloid Queen-Buttons 



These are very pretty things for bee-kecD- 

 ers or honey-sellers to wear on their coat- 

 lapels. They often serve to introduce the 

 subject of honey, which might frequently 

 lead to a sale. 



NOTK. — One bee-keeper writes: "I have 

 every reason to believe that it would boa 

 very good idea for every bee- 

 keeper to wear one [of these 

 buttons], as it will cause peo- 

 ple to ask questions about 

 the busy bee. and many a 

 conversation thus started 

 wind up with the sale of 

 more or less honey; at any 

 rate it would give the bee- 

 keeper a superior opportu- 

 nity to enlighten many a person in regard to 

 honey and bees." 



The picture shown above is a reproduc- 

 tion of a motto queen-button that we offer 

 to bee-keepers. It has a pin on the under- 

 side to fasten it.

I Want to Sell my Apiary 



Of 100 Colonies and sc:ime Nuclei, A number 

 of extra hive-bodies and supers for both 

 comb and extracted honey go with the bees, 

 which are almost wholly Italian, of the best 

 stains to be found in America. Something 

 like 100 shippinir-cases. half of them made 

 up. will go in with the deal; also some bo-lb. 

 shipiiiug-cans (never used); quite a lot of 

 queen-excluders; Alley trap; Lewis founda- 

 tion fastener; Novice extractor; a few crates 

 of sections i'Axi'/ii; i Rietsche press (never 

 used); a number of bee-escapes; some at- 

 mospheric feeders; several volumes of Am. 

 Ree .Journal. Gleanings in Bee Culture, and 

 Bee-Keepers' Review; copy of 'Langstroth 

 on the Honey - Bee." Doolittle's "Scientific 

 Queen-Rearing." and Miller's " Forty Years 

 Among the Bees." Also a lot of queen-ex- 

 cluding zinc and honey-boards. There will 

 be quite a lot of drawn combs both for ex- 

 tracted and comb honey to go with the bees, 

 if sale is made. 



I would like to have some man who wants 

 bees, come here and look the stuff over and 

 take charge of its removal if the sale is 

 made. My health <loes not permit me to do 

 any more work in the bee line or anywhere 

 else.
