Dear Sir: — In referring to 

 comparative tests of bee feeders 

 in my opinion there is no better 

 feeder for stimulative feeding or 

 for the queen breeder than 

 Thale's Regulative Vacuum Bee 

 Feeder. It is better than the 

 Boardman in that the bees can 

 always take the syrup, even 

 coldest weather. They took 



in 

 feed 



here with the temperature at 22 

 degrees at night. There is no 

 comparison betAveen the Thale 

 and Boai dman or division board 

 feeder, owing to the ease with 

 which one may control the flow. 

 It is better than the Alexander 

 for the same reason, and that it 

 doesn't make a nuisance fastened 

 to the hive. The Miller Feeder 

 will always be the best fall feed- 

 er for handling large lots of s\-- 

 rup, I believe, but the Thale 

 may be ted so as to empty in 

 12 hours, I ha^'e found, and that 

 threatens to outgrow the Miller 

 owing to the ease of operation 

 and lack of bothersome equip- 

 ment. 



The value of stimulative feed- 

 ing Is already known and with- 

 in 24 hours after feeding with 

 the Thale I had eggs in eveiT 

 cell that the bees could cover 

 here with the temperature below 

 freezing. This with pollen from 

 the maples. Altogether I recom- 

 mend the Thale feeder as being 



the 

 for 



used 



best feeder I have ever 

 stimulative feeding.

 pany, Watertown, Wis., and their thirty distributing houses; Minn- 

 esota Bee Supply Co., Minneapolis, aiirn.; Leahy Mfg. Co., Hig-
