TBE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



fion-'SuaSiPminQ 



SYSTEIW. 



i'liis is the first perfect and prac- 

 tical NON - SWARMING plan that has over 

 been brought to completion. 



"If we can entirely prevent swarming, and 

 keep all tlie bees at home storing lioncy all the 

 season, we shall get enormous crops frt)m a sin- 

 gle hive " (A B (' of Bee Culture, 1891, page 289.) 



Remember, 1 worked this plan on 1()0 colonies 

 last season, and my average yield, per colony, of 

 ct>mb lioney, was tiO lbs., increase M percent; 

 hence it will be seen that I am not talking at 

 random in making the following statements, as 

 each point has been fully tested and tried. 



Ill Two light colonies that would do but little 

 in the sections if worked separately, do excellent 

 work by running the field force of both into the 

 same set of supers. (More honey, j 



1 2) No bait combs are needed, as the bees can 

 be crowded into the sections without tlieir 

 swarming. (No coaxing.) 



(3) The honey will be finished in better condi- 

 tion, that is, witli less travel-stain on the honey 

 or propolis on the sections, because the union of 

 the field forces completes the work in less time. 

 (More sliekels. i 



1 4) There will be fewer unfinished sections at 

 the en(l of the honey harvest, for the reason 

 just mentioned. (Less waste.) 



(5) Crowding the supers with bees induces 

 them to begin and finish all the sections in eacli 

 case at about the same time, thus permitting the 

 removal of the case with no unfinished sections 

 in it, instead of being obliged to take the sec- 

 tions out as fast as finished to keep them clean. 

 (Saves time.) 



(i5i Drones will be fewer in numbers, as tliey 

 are killed off in the closed hive while the bees of 

 the other are storing honey rapidly. ( More honey) 



(7 1 There is no hunting or caging of queens, 

 no cutting out of queen cells nor manipulation 

 of brood combs, and no MOVING or LIFTING 

 of hives or even the opening of brood chambers 

 during the honey season. iSaves your muscle.) 



|8) With eveythmg in readiness, one man can 

 get a crop of lioney from 20O colonies with only 

 one day's work each week, i Lowers cost of pro- 

 duction.) 



(9) All the vexatious watching for swarms and 

 the labor and time involved in securing them 

 are done away with. I Less cost and loss of tem- 

 per. ) 



1 10) Combining tlie field forces gives better 

 comb building facilities in the supers on account 

 of econonuzing the heat during cool nights. 

 (More honey. I 



111) For this reason more honey will be stored 

 in the sections without resorting to contraction 

 of the brood nest. (More honey. I 



1 12 1 A larger field force leaves the hives than 

 if thev had full possession of bolh brooil cham- 

 bers. '(MORE HON FY.) 



Dii:ii All bees old enough to go to the field are 

 not discouraged or hindered in the least. iMORK 

 HONEY.) , . , 



I 111 Artificial swarms and nuclei can be more 

 easily made, as combs of bees and brood can be 

 takeii from the closed hive in which the queen 

 can l)e found very (iiiickly. i Easy increase, i 



In fact, to the man who is willing to keep his 

 eyes open and attend to things at the proper 

 time (no slipshod beekeeper need apply), this 

 system offers a new era in bee - keeping, and he 



who does not make use of if in these days of low 

 prices will not '' keep up wi(h the procession." 

 You cannot afford to let the opportunity pass 

 without giving the plan a trial. Letters patent 

 have been gianteci in Canada, and have been ap- 

 I)lied for in the U. S. and foreign countries. The 

 device will be put on the market within the reach 

 of all, and, if your dealer is not yet ready to sup- 

 ply them, they may be ordered of me at tlie fol- 

 lowing prices : 



Complete, by freight or express, 75 cts. each ; 

 $f,.W for ten, or $40.0(1 for KM). By mail, 35 cts. 

 extra for each. 



Notice that f)ne device works two hives, hence, 

 when ten are i)urchased at one time, the cost is 

 only 25 cents per hive None genuine that do not 

 bear my stain !>. Circulars free. Send for one.
