GLEANINGS IN BEE CQLTURE. 



Jl'NE 1. 



TESTED QUEENS 



Are usually sold for $2.00. I will explain wiiy I wish to sell a few 

 at less than that. As most of my readers know, T rcqucen my 

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

 done to do away with swarmingr. If done early enough it is usually sureessf ul. It will be set n that the 

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

 Italian queens, right in their prime; yet, in order that they may move otT quickly, and thus make room 

 for the untested queens, they will be sold for only ONE DOLLAR. Or I will send the Review for 1895 and 

 one of tliese queens for only $1.75. For $2.00 I will send tlie 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 filled as soon as it is warm enough to handle bees' and 

 ship queens with safety.
