. British bee journal & bee-keepers adviser. Bees. meadows' improved super-clearer. outer edge of clearer, by means of which a circular hole in floor of the latter is covered or opened at will from the outside. This arrange- ment enables the bee-keeper to set his clearer on in the usual way, and when the surplus chamber is removed after beiDg cleared of bees the combs can be returned tor " clearing up" after extracting, the bees re-admitted by withdrawing the slide, when combs are cleared, and again shut off from below by pushing in the slide, the bees passing into the brood nest by the bee-escape. Thus the bees pass in and out of the super at the will of the bee- keeper, and no trouble, upset, or sting* need be feared. Another useful bee appliance just introduced by Mr. Meadows is the "Cottager's Honey Ripener.'' The ac- companying cut shows its form, and Avhen we state that its price is only 5s., with Is. extra for " drainer " shown at top, none will dispute its suita- bility for the means and wants of the cottager bee - keeper. By its use the thick honey, as it ripens, may be drawn from the bottom by means of the valve shown. Lastly, we have a cheap and neat case or frame—glassed on both sides—for sending. MEADOWS COTTAGER' HONEY RIPENER. 145.
