THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



it has done for you and ourselves, the two 

 Porters deserve a vote of thanks for a perfect 

 bee escape, aud the right of exclusive manu- 

 facture, whether they have a patent on the 

 same or not. We presume a good many of 

 them will be sold, and we should like to 

 have reports of where thorough tests have 

 been made. The propolizing feature of the 

 Reese and Dibbern, as well as their occa- 

 sional clogging with dead bees, is rather 

 against them. The two brass springs at the 

 point D, in the Porter, are so exceedingly 

 sensitive, that, if a bee were to touch them 

 with its mandibles, I imagine they would 

 tremble so that the little propolizer would 

 become cross-eyed in tr.\ ing to keep track 

 of the oscillations, and give the matter up 

 in disgust. E. R. R." 



Advantages of Bee Escapes. 



"I tried a iiu;tiber of different devices last 

 season. Almost all of them worked very 

 satisfactorily. The one we liked best, though, 

 was the Porter spring escape. It cleaned 

 the supers of bees almost as rapidly and 

 thoroughly as any, and they stayed out. 

 With some of the other escapes the bees 

 would sometimes liad their way back; but 

 with the Porter escape they can not do this. 



Having been the lirst one to call the atten- 

 tion of the bee keepers to the fact that they 

 were neglecting this valualile invention, I 

 can say that the bee escape is no longer an 

 experiment with me, but an appliance of 

 great practical value. By its use some of 

 the most laborious and disagreeable work of 

 the apiary is almost done away with. This 

 reduction of labor makes it invaluable in 

 large apiaries: but even iu the smallest it 

 will save time, stings and annoyance. The 

 bee keeping world owes a debt of gratitude 

 to Mr. Reese for giving his invention so 

 freely and generously to his fellow men." — 

 J. A. Green, in Gleanings.
