ONLY A SIM- 

 PLE TUBE! 



See that tube in front of the lower hive that stands at the 

 rigrht ? It is a simple thing-, yet see what it does: In an ar- 

 ticle in the Bee-Keepers' Review for August, entitled "Bees, 

 Brood, and Supers Kept Together by a Dudley Tube," Mr. 

 E. F. Atwaier starts out as follows: 



"We will now describe the Dudley-tube method, which 

 gave us such line results last year, with no dividing (unless 

 we want increase), no shaking, no absconding, no sulking, 

 no scattering to nearby hives, and bid results. In this not 

 only do we go with Mr. Gill in keeping bees, queens, and 

 supers together, but we actually keep the brood and emerg- 

 ing bees on the old stand also, so as to secure the best re- 

 sults in the supers. Yet we have no swarming, nor need 

 we wait until they are preparing to swarm before treating the 

 strong colonies, unless we wish. Yet a weak colony, properly 

 treated, may do super work when otherwise it would not." 



Mr. Atwater then goes on and describes the construction of the tube and the different ways in which It 

 may be used. This is the kind of information that you find in the Review. Send me $1.00 and I'll send it to 

 you from now to the end of next year; or I'll send you the August number and two other late issues for 

 only ten cents, and the ten cents may apply on any subscription sent in during the year.

W. H. Laws says,' 



If there is a queen-breeder who can boast of better stock let him trot out 

 the proof. Testimonials enough to fill this book. Will give you only one. 

 Mr. J. C. King. Washington, D. C . writes. "For two years I have had one 

 of your queens in my apiary. Each season she has given me over 200 lbs. comb honey; last season she actually 

 stored while other colonies starved. I have over twenty strains in my three apiaries, but yours is the best." 



Now is the time to get a fine breeding queen; stock up this fall and double your crop of honey the coming 

 season. Single queen, $1.00; 6 for $5.00. Extra select breeders, $5.00. Safe arrival and satisfaction guaran- 

 teed. W. H. LAWS, BeevUle, Bee Co. Texas.
