GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



May 15. 



Tested Queens 



are usually sold for $2.00. 1 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 from 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 bi' these young queens are never more than a 

 year old; in f act, thej' 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 RBViEwforls96 and one of tliese queens for otjly $1.7.5. 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 ]>rice. A discount on large orders for 

 untested queens. Say how many ure 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.
