BINGHAM 



Bee Smoker 



Patented, 1878. 



Prof. Cook, in his valuable Manual of the Apiarv. 

 stales that " Mr. Bingham was the first to improve 

 the old Quinby smoker by estai'lishinn a direct 

 draft." Five years of per>ij.tenteflfurthas demon- 

 strated that no one but Bingham has been able to 

 improve a Bingham smoker. Hundreds of Bing- 

 ham smokers have been in use five years, and are 

 yet in working order. They burn lots of blocks 

 and chips and stuff, and make lots of smoke and 

 comfort, and have no dampers or match-box at- 

 tachments, as they never go out or fail to blow 

 smoke up or down or sideways, much or little. 

 swift or slow, just as yoH please, any or all the 

 time; top up or down, they always go! 



Bee-beepers will save money and vexation by 

 buying genuine Bingham smokers and Bingham & 

 Hetherington Uncapping-Knives Hrst. We neither 

 make nor handle any other supplies; but "f these 

 we are the original inventars. and only legal 

 makers, and have had over 45,o*h) in use irom one 

 to five years, and receiving but one letter of com- 

 plaint. 



With European and American orders already 

 received for over :i.iHM_i, there is evidence th:it i'^->4 

 with us is not likely to be an idle one. Also that 

 such goods as we make have met the advanced 

 wants of the niist advanced bee-keepers in Eu- 

 rope and America.

Translation of the Masterpiece of that most 

 celebrated German authority, by H. Dieck and S. 

 Stutterd, and edited, with notes, by Charles N. 

 Abbott. Ex-€ditf>T of the "British Bee Journal.'" 

 Dr. Dzierzon is one of the greatest living authori-

 Berlepsch we are indebted for much that is 

 known of scientific bee culture. Concerning this 

 book, Prof. Cook says: "As the work of one of 

 the great ma>*ters. the Langatroth of Germany, it 

 can but find a warm welcome on this side of the 

 Atlantic." Mr. A. I. Koot says of it: "Old father 



Dzierzon has probably made greater strides in 



scientific apiculture than any one man... For real 

 scientific value, it would well repay any bee- 

 keeper whose attention is at all inclined to scien- 

 tific research, to purchase a copy. Cloth, )S3.
