GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Mat 15. 



TESTED QUEENS 



Are usually sold for $3.n0. I will explain why I wish to sell a few 

 at less than that. As most of my readers know, I requeeu my 

 apiary each spring with young queens from tlie South. This is 

 done to do away with swarming. If done early enough it is usually successful. It will he seen that the 

 queens displaced by these young queens are never more than a year old; in fact, they are fine, tested, 

 Italian queens, right in THEin prime; yet, in order tliiit they may move off quickly, and tlius make room 

 for the untested queens, they will be sold for only ONE DOLLAR. Or I will send the Review for 1896 and 

 one of these queens for only f 1.T5. For $2 00 I will send the Review, the queen, and the book "Advanced 

 Bee Culture." If any prefer the young, laying queens from the South, they can have them instead of the 

 tested queens, at the same price. A discount on large orders for untested queens. Say how many are 

 wanted, and a price will be made. Orders can be tilled as soon as it is warm enough to handle bees and 

 ship queens with safety. ^ _ . ^^. . _ . .
