GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



June 15. 



Tested Queens 



are usually sold for liS.OO. 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 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 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 Review for 1896 and one of tliese queens for only $1.76. For $3.00 I will send the Review, 

 the queen, and the Ijook " Advanced Bee Culture." If any prefer tlie young, laying queens from the 

 South, they can have them instead of tlie 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. As a rule, small orders are filled 

 by return mail, and there is seldom much delay in filling even large orders; but a little time, or notice 

 ahead, on such is appreciated.
