GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTUEE. 



363 



The 2 lbs. of bees and 3 queens. 1 Holy Land and 

 1 Cyprian, did finely. I purchased them of you last 

 June; have never bought bees that gave as good 

 satisfaction, especially the Holy-Land queen.

THE JONES BEE-GUARD. 



Please send me one of the Jones bee-guards. I 

 want to " coop " some hybrid drones. I suppose this 

 is the purpose for Avhich it is used.

I received my first number of Gleanings the oth- 

 er day, and am well pleased with it. You don't 

 know how JuvENiLB Gleanings surprised me when 

 Itoreoflihe wrapper and it came tumbling out. 

 Keep it going; don't by anv means stop it. 



Randolph, Miss., Juoe 3, 1883. R. C. Gay. 



The two queens ordered on the IVth inst. came to 

 hand to-day in as good condition as 1 have ever seen; 

 not a dead bee in either cage. Your boys certainly 

 understand how to put up queens so as to have 

 them arrive in good condition, at any rate.

Saturday, June 10th, T received the package in 

 which was contained the goods I ordered, and all 

 were in good shape, and to my entire satisfaction, 

 for which munv thanks, as also for the prompt filling 

 of the order. It is a virtue not generally found with 

 manufacturers and dealers in apiarian supplies, to 

 furnish goods as represented, and in reasonable 

 time. G. E. T. Kyber.

a doubtful co.mpliment. 



Inclosed find one dollar, for which you will please 

 continue my subscription for Gleanings for anoth- 

 er year; can't keep house without it. Yes, I can; 

 but then, 1 won't as long as I can raise a dollar to 

 pay for it. I fear you have made as much of a slave 

 of me to Gleanings as I have of myself to tobacco. 

 1 don't like to quit either one or theother; in fact, I 

 " don't have to " at present. J. H. Kellogg.

A PLE.\SED ABC SCHOLAR. 



I was very much pleased with the hives indeed, 

 they were so much better than 1 expected. Monday 

 morning. May 8, I commenced making a hive; had 

 just got the brood-chamber nailed up when the sun 

 shone out warm. My wife called out, " The bees are 

 swarming!" 1 put them into the brood-chamber, 

 finished a hive, and lifted them out and put them in, 

 and they went right to work, 'and they are doing 

 first rate. It was an extra large swarm. You will 

 get several orders from this neighborhood, as 

 several bee-keepers called to see my hives, which 

 are as fine aschromos, since I have them painted 

 and lettered. Please accept my thanks.

offered him the copy. 1 passed his residence yester- 

 day, and asked him how he liked it. He came out 

 to the road and said it was just what he wanted. 

 He would not do without it; said his wife wanted 

 him to take the A B C, but Gleanings was .iust 

 what he wanted. He never had any honey, until 

 he took some out of L. hives, movable frames. They 

 are all in a hurry. Send them along.

I want to give you a little rei)ort of what we have 

 been doing since I last wrote you, for your own pri- 

 vate encouragement. Three years ago we started a 

 little class of' i;! here at our schoolhouse, and the 

 majority were females, and now we have a class 

 of tj4, and a nice church house in our little town. 

 The house is worth two thousand dollars. I don't 

 tell this to brag, but to show you how God has 

 blessed us. Now, brother, for such I call every one 

 who is trying to serve God, j'our Home Papers have 

 helped me; it is like OTir class-meetings; these kind 

 talks help us to bear each other's burdens. I pray 

 God to keep you. I expsct to meet you on the 

 banks of Jordan, when I shall have said rhy last pray- 

 er and encouraging word, and you have laid down 

 the pen from writing your last encouraging Homes.

how to get subscribers. 



I was so delighted with Gleanings! I had some 

 copies in my pocket. When I saw a bee-keeper I 

 offered him one to read, with an invitation to take a 

 copy. In every instance they have done so. Wil- 

 kinson did not know that he wanted it at the time I
