GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Nov. 



UK. 



WERKYBANKS' SON AND 

 NEIGHBOR'S DAIGHTEB. 



HIS 



MASTER MERRYBANKS, after hear- 

 ing his father tell some wonderful 

 ' stories about the way bees gather 

 honey from the flowers, takes the oppor- 

 tunity of imparting the same startling facts 

 to the daughter of their next-door neighbor. 

 This neighbor, although a very homely man 

 himself (as you may have observed in our 

 Sept. No.), has a very comely daughter. The 

 hog-pen has been fixed up again, and he has 



HOW THE BEES GET THE HONEY. 



put his bee-hives a little further away. Mr. 

 Merrybanks has also got his buggy fixed, 

 and that truant swarm that went off to the 

 woods in spite of the tin pans, etc., is now 

 contentedly reposing under the foliage 

 of that tree you see in the distance, (there 

 is a tree in the distance, is there not?) 

 And this reminds me that I have been feel- 

 ing badly, to think our artist did not give 

 the boy any larger feet ; but then, you know 

 boys 1 feet usually grow some as they get 

 older. Perhaps, next time we see him his 

 feet may be larger. 



I am sorry to be obliged to caution our readers 

 against sending: any honey, or any thing else, to G. 

 W. Marshall. Davenport, Iowa, who is advertising 

 for honey on commission, in some of the journals. 



If you have a colony short of bees, you can, by 

 commencing at once, raise a nice lot of young bpes 

 with a frame of flour candy. Put the candy in the 

 center of the brood-nest until they sret well started 

 on it, and then mpve it a little to one side. Endea- 

 vor to pre\ T ent them from building a comb in the 

 frame in place of the candy if you can. You can 

 use a tray of candy to set over the frames if you 

 prefer it. 



NICE CLOVER AND BASSWOOD HONEY FOR 25c A PAILFUL, PAIL 

 THROWN IX. 



Yes, and the pail has a cover on It besides. While I think of 

 it, it may be well to remark, that the pail docs not hold Quite a 

 quart; but still it is a very good pail, and holds a lull ]'.. lb. of 

 nice honey. If you do not want a tin pail, we will put the hon- 

 ey in paiiet- pails for an even 15c per lb. 



The above ad. we have just put in our county pa- 

 per, to help sell that nice barrel of honey. We can 

 furnish you paper pails, for retailing honey, for 

 from one to 3c each. Sample by mail for 2c. 



The American B:e Journal will be published as a 

 weekly at $2 00 a yerir, during 1831. We will club it 

 with Gleanings at .$2 .75 The WeMern Hnnnj-Bvt
