GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Sept. 1, 



Feeding Back 



Honcj' to secure tlie completion of unflnislied sections can be made very 

 profitable if riglitly managed during- the hot weather of August and Sep- 

 tember. In "Advanced Hce Culture" may be found complete instructions 

 regarding tiie selection a!id preparation of colonies, preparation of the feed, manipulation necessary to 

 secure the rapid capping of the combs, time for removing the honey, and how to manage if a few sections 

 in a case are not quite complete; in short, all of the " kitiks " that have been learned fiom years of expe- 

 ience, and the "feeding ba(;li"of tons of honey. I 'rice of the book, .50 ct.s. 



For feodhig back, no feeder is superior to the New Heddon. It covers the wliole top of tlie hive, does 

 not daub the bees; can be tilled without coming in contact with thi^ bees; a glance will show when it is 

 empty, and it holds twenty pounds of feed. The usual price for a new feeder is 75 cts.; but I have 40 

 second-hand ones that I will sell as Jow as 25 cts. each.
