GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



May 15. 



" The Southland Queen." 



You ought to know what you are missing- by not 

 reading the Southland Queen. The only bee-journal 

 published in the South, and the only bee-keeping 

 school known is taught by that world renowned 

 teacher, Mrs. Jennie Atchley, through its columns. 

 How to raise queens, bees, and honev, and, in fact, 

 how to make bee-keeping a success, is taught in 

 the school. A single copy is worth more to beginners 

 than the subscription price for a whole year (f 1.00). 

 A steam bee-hive factory. Roofs goods, Dadant's 

 foundation, and all bee-supplies. You all know 

 where to arrange for your queens and bees for '96. 

 If you do not, send for a free catalog that tells all 

 about queen-rearing, and a sample journa 1. Address

Advantages of Bee-Escapes. 



No sweat steals down the heated cheeks and ach- 

 ing back of the bee-keeper as the result of standing 

 in the hot sun puffing, blowing, smoking, and brush- 

 ing bees; no time is wasted in these disagreeable 

 operations; and no stings received in resentment of 

 such treatment; the honey is secured free from 

 black or even the taint of smoke; the cappings are 

 not injured by the gnawings of bees; and robbers 

 stand no show whatever. If there are any broken 

 burr-combs they are cleaned up by the bees inside 

 the hive, before the honey is removed. Leading 

 Bee-keepers use the Porter Escape, and say that 

 without a trial it is impossible to realize the amount 

 of vexatious, annoying, disagreeable work that it 

 saves. The cost is only 20 cts. each, or $2.35 per doz. 

 As In the past, this escape is manufactured by the 

 Porters, but The A. I. Root Co. are now the ex- 

 clusive selling agents for this country. Order of 

 your dealer or of
