The Tool shown here was inventeo by Wm. Muench, a Minnesota bee-keeper, someyears ago, but it was not on che market before. We have lately bought this Tool, and ailrights, from Mr. Muenchs widow, and have had the flrst lot made. They are ready for de-livery (This picture is exactly one-half the size.) DESCRIPTION.—The Ideal Hive-Tool is made of high-grade malleable ron, much like wrought iron,8^ inches long. The middle part is 1 1-16 inches wide an l 7-32 thick. The smaller end is \% inches long, }4inch wide, and 7-32 thick, ending 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, as it does not mar the wood. What Dr. Miller and Miss Wilson Say of It: In the first edition (1903) of Dr. Millers Forty Years Among the Bees, page 58, hesays: Of all the hive-tools I have tried, I like best the Muench tool. On Jan. 7, 1907, hewrote us o^ving ne thought just as much of the tool as ever. Miss Wiison, Dr. Millers assistant, says this of the Ideal Hive-Tool: It is an ideal fact, I dont sfc-? how it could be improved upon. lam sure we would feel utterly lost inthe apiary without it You will have to try one yourself
