- Bee Smoker - Beekeepers always have a smoker near when they open hives. The smoker masks the "danger" pheromone that bees emit when threatened which slows the colony's response. The smoke also simulates fire which prompts bees to eat honey in preparation for rebuilding a destroyed hive. This smoker's spout channeled smoke into the hive without the risk of dropping the fuel source into the hive.

Queen Bee Box, circa 1961
- Beehive Created from a Hollow Log, 1850-1900 - Colonists who relocated from European countries and settled in North America imported <em>Apis mellifera</em> to ensure access to honey and to sustain crops that they moved with their bees. When honeybees swarmed into hollow trees, colonists sometimes cut out the tree and moved it closer to their gardens, orchards, and clover fields to keep honey close to the kitchen table.

- Honey Extractor, 1890-1900 - A swarm of bees captured Amos Root's attention in 1869. He began publishing <em>Gleanings in Bee Culture</em> in 1873 and included testimonials about this "Novice extractor." Root improved the extractor over 25 years. Beekeepers used a galvanized metal version by 1898, advertised as stronger and more durable than earlier versions, to separate honey from comb to satisfy a growing number of honey consumers.

- "Saturday Night Fever" Eight Track Tape, 1977 - The 8-track tape is an endless-loop, magnetic-tape sound recording technology developed in the mid-1960s. Inventors initially conceived of the 8-track tape and player to provide music in automobiles--its portability was an attractive feature. An 8-track tape also offered long playing times, but other features could hinder listening pleasure. Improved cassette tapes and new compact disc technology displaced the 8-track in the early 1980s.
