THE FLOWER AND THE BEE 

 PLANT LIFE AND POLLINATION 



By John H- Lovell, 



Botanical Editor of "The A B C of Bee 



Culture" 



Every beekeeper needs this volume in order 

 to understand the honey flora. Descriptions are 

 given of bee-flowers, bumblebee-flowers, butter- 

 fly-flowers, hawk-moth flowers, flowers pollin- 

 ated by the wind, and many others. It will 

 also be of great interest to gardeners, fruit- 

 growers and lovers of nature generally. It is 

 fascinating, not only because of its very great 

 informative value, but because of the sense 

 which it imparts of the beauty of nature as 

 revealed in the subject. Do you know why 

 some bees visit only one kind of flower? Or 

 how many flowers there are of each color in 

 eastern North America? Or whether bees and 

 butterflies prefer certain colors? 



Illustrated by 119 photographs taken by the 

 author, chiefly of flowers natural size. $2 net. 



Will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, by 

 JOHN H. LOVELL, Waldoboro, Maine.

Mr. Bingham manufac- 

 tured the Bingham 

 Smoker and Bingham 

 HoneyKnife for nearly 

 thirty-five years, and 

 in 1912, becoming a very 

 old man, we purchased 

 this businsss and joined 

 it to our establishe'd 

 business of beekeepers' 

 supplies and general 

 beeware. Those who 

 knew Mr. Bingham will 

 join us in saying that 

 he was one of the fin- 

 much pleasure to help perpetuate his name in the 



est of men, and it gives us 

 beekeeping industry. 

 Bingham Smokers have been impr 

 for nearly forty years have been tl 

 dealers in bee supplies, or direct f 



d from time to time, are now 

 standard in this and many forei 

 l the manufacturers.

BINGHAM HONEY UNCAPPING KNIVES 



WITH NEW COLD HANDLE 



We are furnishing the same quality steel, best money can buy, thin-bladed 

 knives that Mr. Bingham manufactured years ago. The old-timers all remem- 

 ber these knives and many are waiting in, as Mr. Yolstad in the following 

 letters. The substitutes offered by oth- 

 ers have not given the satisfaction de- 

 sired. 



Lyle, Minn.. June 21, 1917. 

 A. G. Woodman Co. 



Gentlemen: Have you the thin, good working 

 uncapping knives we used to get about 20 years » 

 ago and that worked to perfection? Z'^ 



K. H. VoLSTAD. 



We sent an 8y 2 and 10-inch knife and | 

 received the following letter: 



Lyle, Minn., Tuly 5, 1917. 

 A. C. Woodman Co. 



Gentlemen: Knives received; glad you sent, 

 them at once. They are just what I want andj 

 have been looking for, but did not know where tog 

 get them. K. H. Volstad. 



Many of the most extensive honey producers insist on the Genuine Bingham 

 Knives. Mr. N. E. France, of Platteville, Wis., gave us a fine unsolicited testi- 

 monial on the steam-heated Bingham Knife, too long for this space.
