THE AMERICAN APICULTURIST. 



HOW IS THIS? 



To each new subscriber and those 

 who renew at once for one year, we 

 will send one of Alley's New Re- 

 versible Section Cases, each con- 

 taining enough i-lb. sections, made 

 up for a standard Langstroth hive, or 

 any other hive that does not take 

 more than 28 sections in one case. 



In ordering, please give the exact 

 dimensions of the inside of the cap 

 of the hive you desire to use the sec- 

 tions on. 



As the entire case, complete 

 weighs less than ten lbs., the charges 

 will not exceed 50 cts. to any place 

 the Am. Express reaches. 



This case is new, and its novelty 

 and simplicity is admired by all. 



Any one who will send ten new 

 subscribers and $10 will receive one 

 of the "Bay State Reversible Hives" 

 complete (except winter case). 



New Testimonials. 



I want to say a good word for 

 the Alley " Drone and queen trap." 

 I purchased ten, and have had 

 them almost in constant use the 

 last three weeks, and I must say 

 that as a drone, queen and svvarm 

 catcher, they cannot be excelled. 

 M. Borers. 



Gonzales, Ttxas, April 6, 1886. 



GOOD WORDS FOR THE QUEEN TRAP. 



The " drone and queen trap" at 

 hand, and certainly promises all 

 that is claimed for it, besides being 

 a marvel of neat workmanship. 

 Think I will order a quantity, and 

 thus do away with the intolerable 

 trouble of climbing for swarms. 

 Mrs. H. Hills.

Trap received. Am delighted 

 with it and consider it the " 7ie 

 plus ultra" in the bee line. Send 

 me one dozen. W. M. Heihg. 



Lutherville, Md. 



What Cheer, Iowa. 



I have heard a good deal about 

 the Alley " drone and queen trap" 

 and think it is the very thing I need, 

 for the reason I cannot be at home 

 at all hours of the day to attend to 

 them. 



G. R. Pratt. 



SPECIAL NOTICES. 



The Alley drone and queen trap was 

 patented Nov. 11, 1884. I hear that many 

 beekeepers are making and using them 

 without the proper right to do so. Rather 

 than have any of our friends lay themselves 

 liable, I will sell farm rights at a low figure, 

 to any who desire to make and use the 

 traps. Terms given on application.
