 a large worker bee and "Apiary Reg-

 not only a Register of both Queens 

 and Colonies, but has also an Ac- 

 count Book at the back, in which to 

 keep a record of all the receipts and 

 expenditures of the apiary, which will 

 be found exceedingly valuable. AVe 

 have also reduced the prices, as will 

 be seen on another page. 



i^Several hundreds of subscriptions 

 expire with this number, which com- 

 pletes the first half of the year. We 

 desire to impress all with tlie import-

 again a few days afterwards. Those 

 who desire to have the Bee Journal 

 continued imtil they order it discon- 

 tinued, should notify lis of the fact, 

 and we will so mark it on the mail- 

 list ; then no numbers would be lost or 

 trouble made for any one.

EXCELSIOK 



WAX EXTRACTOR 



The athiintagee^ <•( lliis Extractor are : 



1. It is more easily operated, there being- 



no necessity for removing- ihe top to refill 



with water. 

 "2. It melts quicker, because the wax is 



brougrht into a more direct contact with the 



steam. 



3. It is more economical, because the steam 

 has access to the center, thereb.v extracting" 

 all the wax from the refuse matter. 



4. The flUer for water acts also as an indi- 

 cator as to the amount of water in the boiler* 

 as when the steam escapes throug-h the filler, 

 more water ^\-ili be required. 



Keep a kettle of hot Abater ready to fill 

 when required. We make two sizes, the 

 smaller one having- a larger capacity than 

 the Swiss Wax Extractor. 



Price, small size, ;?4.00— larg-e size, ?5.00.
