GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Oct. L 



Feeding Back 



Honey to secure the completion of unfinished sections can be made very 

 profltable if rightly managed during the hot weather of August and Sep- 

 tember. In " Advanced Bee Culture " may be found comnlete instructions 

 regarding the selection and 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 " kinks" that have been learned from years of expe- 

 lence, and the "feeding back" of tons of honey. Price of the book, 50 cts. 



For feeding back, no feeder is superior to the New Heddou. It covers the whole top of the hive, does 

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

 empty, aud it holds twenty pounds of feed. The usual price for a new feeder is 7.5 cts.; but I have 40 

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