GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



May 1. 



Tested Queens 



are usually sold for S3.00. I will explain why I wish to sell a few 

 at less than that. As most of my readers know, I re-queen my 

 apiary each spring- with young queens fi-om the South. This is 

 done to do away with swarming. If done early enough it is usu- 

 ally successful. It will be 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 their prime; yet, in order that they 

 may move off quickly, and thus make room for the untested queens, they will be sold for only One Dollar. 

 Or I will send the Re VIEW for 1896 and one of these queens for only $1.76. 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 

 Soutli, 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 will be filled in rotation as 

 soon as it is warm enough to handle bees and ship queens with safety and young queens can be secured 

 from the South to replace the ones sent out.
