The Townsend Bee Book of 87 pages, 

 is now out, and contains some of the best 

 things Townsend has ever written. Here 

 is a list of- the contents: How I Became 

 a Successful Manager of Bees on a Large 

 Scale; What Hive to Adopt; How to buy 

 Bees; Folding Sections and Putting in 

 Foundation; What to do just Preceding 

 the Honey Flow; Strong vs. Medium 

 Colonies at the Opening of the Harvest; 

 How to take Care of Swarms; Manage- 

 ment Previons to the Honey-Flow to 

 Prevent Swarms; The Honey-Flow; 

 Spring Management; and Making up 

 Winter Losses. Price of the book 50 

 cts., or I can club it with the Review at 

 SL25 for both. 



To be Remembered is pleasant, especi- 

 ally when sick and among strangers. 

 When in the hospital I saw in the report 

 of the Albany meeting that Bro. Doolittle 

 and myself were remembered with reso- 

 lution of sympathy. When the Michigan 

 association was in convention at Grand 

 Rapids, I was called to the telephone one 

 evening to listen to a message saying 

 that I was missed, and there were wishes 

 for my speedy recovery. As I crept back 

 into my cot, in the darkness, there was 

 just a suspicion of moisture on my eye 

 lids. Dear brothers, your remembrance 

 of me will never be forgotten. 



Information Wanted. 

 I wish to make the Review for 1911 

 attain a point of excellence that it has 



never before reached in the way of im- 

 parting useful information; and, to this 

 end, I earnestly solicit contributions from 

 practical men who have reached success, 

 and can point out to others the path they 

 have traveled. If you have some ex- 

 cellent plan or method not generally 

 known, send it to the Review. All such 

 as are used will be paid for. 



If these contributions can be accompa- 

 nied by good, sharp, clear photographs, 

 illustrating the text, they will be doubly 

 welcome, and additional pay will be sent 

 for the photos. 



Using Section Packing Boxes for 

 Shipping Cases. 



Gleanings tells of a subscriber who 

 uses for comb honey shipping cases, the 

 cases in which sections are shipped. 

 Of course, they cost nothing; and if three 

 or four are put together in a crate, they 

 might carry their contents safely. 1 

 should consider a single case as too small 

 in size to be used alone. It is too much 

 like an ordinary shipping case, that can 

 be tossed and tumbled about. Put 

 enough of them together in a crate so 

 that two men are required to handle the 

 package, put handles on the sides, and 

 all be well— or as nearly so as it can be. 



The Pearce Method of Bee Keeping. 



This is a pamphlet of some 28 pages 

 recently gotten out by Mr. J. A. Pearce 

 of Grand Rapids, Michigan. The price 

 is 50 cts, and the book can be supplied 

 by the author. It gives instructions to 

 farmers and others for keeping bees in 

 attics, or the upper stories of buildings. 

 In commercial bee keeping the central 

 idea of the plan recommended is to se- 

 cure a strong colony by the use of two 

 stories for a brood nest. At the opening 

 of the honey harvest, the colony is 

 divided, the queen being placed upon a 

 new stand, and the supers on the hive on 

 the old stand; where queen cells will be 

 built. On the eighth day all cells except 

 one are cut out, thus there is no swarm- 

 ing.
