Something New=The Ideal Hive=Tool 



Bee-keepers bave long needed a Tool with wbich to work amon? the hives during the bee- 

 season. The Tool shown here was invented liy Win. Muench, a Minnesota hee-keeper, some 

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

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

 livery now. 



( T/iis jMcture is exactly one-half the size.) 



DESCRIPTIOM.-Tlie Ideal Hive-Tool is made of high-grafie malleable iron, much like wrought iron, 

 pi^inolies l..nj.'. Tbe raidille part is 1 1-lH inclies wide an 1 7-.r2 thick, The smaller end is 1% inches long, Vi 

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

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



What Dr, Miller and Msss 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 WiUoD, 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 bi improved upon. lam 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."

ADVANTAGES OF 



BEE ESCAPES. 



No sweat steals down the cheeks and aching 

 tack of the tired bee-keeper, as tlie result of standing 

 in the hot sun, puffng, blowing, smoking and 

 brushing bees; no lime is wasted in the? e disagree- 

 able opeiaticns. and no stings leceived in resent- 

 ment of such treatment; the hcney is ."^etured free 

 from black or even the taint of smoke; the cappings 

 are not injured by the gnawing of the bees; and rob- 

 bers stand no show whatever. If there are any 

 burr-combs, they are cleaned up by the bees inside 

 the hive, before the honey is rem.oved. Leading 

 bee-keepe"s uf e the FORTER escape, and say that 

 without a trial it is impossible to realize the amount 

 of vexatious, annoying, disagreeable work that it 

 saves. The cost is only 20 cts. each, or $2.25 per 

 dozen.
