THE PATENT REGULATOR 
Is a metallic instrument attached to the entrance of each 
hire, made adjustible by means of a thumb-screw, wherein 
the entrance can be made very large or very small, as occa- 
sion may require; by giving an entrance so that only one 
bee can pass at a time, will usually prevent robbery ; in the 
height of the honey season a full entrance, four and a half 
inches, should be given. By placing the instrument at the 
lowest gauge when a new swarm is first hived, will prevent 
them from flying to the forest, as the Queen cannot get out 
owing to her large size — the bees will never fly' away unless 
the Queen can go with them. 
Can be attached to any kind of hive, but cannot be fur- 
nished to parlies unless they have purchased the Right of 
the Kidder Hive. (For price see price-list.) 
KIDDER’S PATENT BEE-CATCHER 
la a device which every bee-fancier should be provided with. 
It being reversible and removable, can be attached to any 
hive after an entrance is made for its reception, which can 
be done wilh the bees in the hive by putting them through 
a subduing process with the Fumigation Pipe. 
It is designed to be used in capturing robber bees, espe- 
cially when they come from an unknown source; or wild 
bees from a tree. By the use of it, bees from the field can 
be secured in the hive in less than one hour, in case a swarm 
is to be sold or removed in the middle of the day ; and, by 
the use of it, in combination with the Regulator, the Drones 
in the hive can be destroyed in twenty-four hours.
