PORTER 



BEE-ESCAPES 



hive: escape 



When taking off surplus this is the greatest 

 saving device. It does away with the shaking 

 of the heavy supers, the cruelty of excessive 

 smoking which causes the bees to uncap their 

 honey and start robbing. You can as well afford 

 to be without a smoker as without the Porter 

 Bee-escape, 



PRICES— Each, 20c; dozen, $2.25; postpaid. 

 With board, 35c; 10, $3.25; by express or freight. 

 MOXJSK E.SCAPE 



To be used over the doors and windows in 

 the extracting-house, or any place you wish to 

 clear of bees. Some bee-keepers make a prac- 

 tice of taking off the filled supers and stacking 

 seven or eight in a pile. The Porter Honey- 

 house mounted on a board makes the best kind 

 of escape. 



PRICES— Each, 25c; dozen, $2.75; postpaid.
