Something New^The Ideal Hive=TooI 



Bee-keepers have long needed a Tool with which to work amoDg: the hives during the bee- 

 season. The Tool shown here was invented by U ru. Muench, a Minnesota bee-keeper, some 

 years ago, but it was not on the marliet before. We have lately bought this Tool, and nil 

 rights, from Mr. Muench's widow, and have had the first lot made. They are ready for de- 

 livery now. 



( T/iis picture is exactly one-haJf the size.) 



DESCRIPTION.— The Idewl Hive-Tool is made of hish-grarle malleable iron, much like wrought iron, 

 ^^ inches I. iii;. Toe raiiiilie part i-> 1 1-1« iiiclies w iiie an I 7-32 tliick. The smaller end is i% inches long, % 

 inch wide, and 7-32 thick, ending like a screw-ilriver. The larger end is wedge-shaped, having a sharp semi- 

 circular edge, making it almost perfect tor prying up covers, supers, etc.. as it does not mar the wood. 



What Dr. Miller and Miss Wilson Say of It : 



In the first edition (1903) of Dr. Miller's "Forty Years Among the Bees," page 58, he 

 says- " Of all the hive tools I have tried, I like best the Muench tool." On Jan. 7, 1907, he 

 wrote us saying he thought " just as much of the tool as ever." 



Miss Wilson, Dr. Miller's assistant, says this of the Ideal Hive-Tool: " It is an ideal tool. 

 In fact, I don't see how it could ba improved upon. I am sure we would feel utterly lost in 

 the apiary without it You will have to try one yourself if you want to know its worth."
