THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



A Frame Spacer. 



By the use of my 

 improved spacer, 

 an ordinary han^- 

 " ing-frame liive is 

 converted into a re- 

 versi))le or movable 

 hive A liive is 

 quickly and cor- 

 rectly spaced, and 

 the frames are held in their proper position, and 

 will not be lifted when removinf? the cover if 

 they are fastened to it by brace combs. A con- 

 tracted hive in made movable or i avertible. By 

 having the downward exImdinK arms as long ae 

 the end bars of the frames, and suitalile division, 

 boards in place of the outside frames, a hive is 

 converted into a double walled hive with the 

 spaces between the end bars of the frames closed. 

 Ihis is a great aid to a weak colony in building 

 up in the spring, if the hive is well packed on 

 top of the frames. 



Price of brood chamber and 8 frames. %\J>Q. 

 One hive and 1 doz. extra spacers, $1.00. Spacers, 

 long or short arm, $20.U0 per 100. These prices 

 are for frames ^a inch wide. When ordering, 

 give width of hive, inside.

3ces & Queens 



8oon as the season admits we shall begin get- 

 ting young, laying, Italian queens from the 

 South. These we will sell at $1.00 each. If cus- 

 tomers prefer, they may have tested queens from 

 our own apiary at the same i)rice ; we replacing 

 them with the young queens from the South. We 

 have followed this practice the two j)ast years, 

 and have found that the introduction of a young 

 queen early in the season usually prevents swarm- 

 ing ; and it is tliat our tested queens may be sold 

 off quickly, early in the season, that -^e offer 

 them at such a low price. These tested queens 

 that we offer were all reared last season, and are 

 line queens right in their prime. 



Our bees are wintering well, and we shall prob- 

 ably have some to sell in the spring at the fol- 

 lowing prices : Single colony, $6.00; five colonies, 

 $5.50 each ; ten, or more colonies, $5.C0 each. 

 The frames are Langstroth, eight in a hive, and 

 the hives old style Heddon with loose bottom 

 boards. They are similar to the Hoot Dove- 

 tailed hive. Bees in the New Heddon hive can 

 be furnislied at an advance of fifty cents per col- 

 ony upon above prices. We also have a})out a 

 dozen colonies of ("arniolans. Would sell part 

 of them at $10.00 ijer colony. 



Orders lor the above will be hooked as re- 

 ceived, and filled in roliition.

Still they come ; the last one is a brood frame 

 that goes together and stays together — true, 

 firm and solid — without nailing. Send 5 cts. for
