THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



Something New=The Ideal Hive=Tool 



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

 eeason. The Tool shown here was Invented by Wra. Muench, a Minnesota bee-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 flrst lot made. They are ready for de- 

 livery now. 



{ This picture is exactly one-half the size.) 



DESCRIPTION.— The Ideal Hive-Tool is made of high-grade malleable iron, much like r^rought iron, 

 8J^ inches lung. The middle part is 1 1-16 iiiclies wide an J 7-32 thick, The smaller end is ]% inci-es long, ]4 

 inch wide, and 7-32 thick, ending like a screw-driver. The larger end is wedge-shaped, having a shi^'o semi- 

 circular edge, making it almost perfect for 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 bj 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."

ADVANTAGES OF 



BEE ESCAPES. 



No sweat steals down the cheeks and aching 

 back of the tired bee-keeper, as the result of standing 

 in the hot sun. puffing, blowing, smoking and 

 brushing bees; no time is wasted in these disagree- 

 able operations, and no stings received in resent- 

 ment of such treatment; the honey is secured 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 removed. Leading 

 bee-keepers use the PORTER 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.
