The Original 



BINGHAM 



Bee Smoker 



Patented, 1878 



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

 states that " Mr. Bingham was the first to improve 

 the old Quinby smoker by establishinti a direct 

 draft." Five years of persistent effort has demon- 

 strated that no one but Bini^ibam has been able to 

 improve a Bineham 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 stuft, 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 yon please, any or ail the 

 time; top up or down, they always eo! 



Bee-keepers will save money and vexation by 

 buying genuine Bingham smokers and Bingham &, 

 Hetherington Uncapping-Knives lirst. 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,(HXi in use irom one 

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

 plaint. 



Witb European and American orders already 

 received for over 3,(.x.k.), there is evidence that ih?s4 

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

 such goods as we make have met the advanced 

 wants of the must advanced bee-keepers in Eu- 

 rope And America.

Dzlerzon's Rutloaal Bee - Keeploff. — A 



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-editoT of the "British Bee Journal." 

 Dr. Dzierzon is one of the greatest living authori- 

 ties on Bee (Culture. To him and the Baron of 

 Berlepsch we are indebted for much that is 

 known of scientiflc 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 Hnd 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, 8SS.
