By using the Schamu Bottom Board your bees will stay at 

 home, for the queen cannot get out (the leader of the colony) 

 and there is no clipping of the queen's wings necessary as with 

 the old style Bottom Board, for some of the best authorities will 

 bear me out on this, that clipping the queen's wings is detri- 

 mental, so why do it if it is unnecessary? If she is clipped and 

 gets out she is often lost if the keeper is not watching when using 

 the old-fashioned Bottom Board. 



For the Professional Bee - Keeper. — The gentlemanthat makes 

 his li\'ing with the honey bee and her products, who operates 

 out-yards and colonies of bees therein amounting to hundreds of 

 colonies, yes, possibly thousands, why should he be compelled 

 to chase from one yard to another during the swarming time, and 

 in each and every yard he visits, find the bees have superseded 

 the old clipped queen and are hanging on some lofty limb that 

 gives the owner an unlimited amount of trouble to get them 

 down, possibly there are several swarms gone to the woods that he 

 never gets back, lost money on such swarms and the honey for 

 the season. Two Dollars and fifty cents would have saved the 

 swarm, and think of the worry on his mind that he would have 

 avoided if he had the Roller Entrance under each and every 

 colony. When he is working in one yard of bees, he is thinking 

 how many of the other's are swarming and many a bee-keeper 

 has come to his out-yard and found swarms hanging on the trees. 



Swarms getting away is positively impossible by the use of 

 this bottom board. If by chance your queen gets down into the 

 drone trap, the bees will feed her back of the wire until the bee- 

 keeper liberates her. That is if they should, by chance, try to 

 swarm, then it is an easy matter for the bee-keeper to leave the 

 old queen caged in the drone trap for 5 or 6 days until the brood 

 is all sealed over, then liberate her back into the hive, and the 

 whole trouble is over. Or, if he wishes to, he can make a shook 

 swarm out of it, if he is there. It is left entirely to the bee- 

 keeper's choice, in other words, he has his whole beedom under 

 control every day of the year by using the Roller Entrance 

 Bottom Board. 



For the Queen Breeder 



This article will make it possible for the queen breeder to rear 

 Italians, blacks, carnolians, cyprians and what not kind of queen 

 bees and mate them purely in the same yard positively 99 times 

 out of a hundred, unless there are neighbors bees near by, if he 

 uses the Roller Entrance and operates his Bottom Boards accord- 

 ingly. If he wants to mate an Italian queen to a Carnolian or 

 Golden Italian drone, allow the virgin queen and the drone he 

 wishes to mate to free sailing, the remainer of rollers in the yard 

 should be kept closed to trap all other drones during this period, 

 likewise for other races. It is done just as easy as it sounds. If 

 there is any queen breeder that does not believe the assertions 

 made, have him come and see the results where the Roller 

 Entrance is being used exclusively. 



Purely mated, tested breeding queens mated to select drones
