American "Bee Jonrnal 



Gleanings in Bee - Culture for 1910-1 1 



This is a busy world full of busy people. It is impos- 

 sible to read all the good literature that is published on 

 bees, to say nothing about the general literature on other 

 subjects. In order to help out those who are cramped for 

 time we are entering upon a new department in journalism 

 by introducing what we call — 



Moving Pictures of Prominent Bee Men at Work. 



These will consist of a series of photoyraphs sliowing some of 

 the best apiarists in the country at work among their bees. Each 

 little step and their manner of handling from the time of putting the 

 bees into winter quarters to the time of taking off the crop the fol- 

 lowing season, will be shown. Each of these separate poses is num- 

 bered consecutively, and all the busy reader will have to do is to 

 take a rapid glance at these pictures. Then, if he is interested and 

 desires to know more about it. he can read the descriptive matter 

 that goes with the pictures. 



How these Moving Pictures were Obtained. 



We sent a special representative, equipped with the finest 

 Graflex curtain-shutter camera with an imported lens, to the api- 

 aries of two or three of the prominent bee-keepers. A series of 

 photographs were taken at each of their yards. For example, we 

 have something like one hundred different pictures showing E.D. 

 Townsend among his bees, and just how he performs some of the 

 tricks of the trade, that it is practically impossible to describe on a 

 printed page. We also have something like one hundred photo- 

 graphs showing that prince of fancy como-honey production. Mr. S. 

 D. House, among his bees. While he could write a volume telling 

 iiow he produces fancy comb honey, nothing would begin to show 

 just how he proceeds so well as a series of pictures, showing each 

 successive step. Besides all this. Mr. House will be shown in the 

 act of performing other tricks of the trade. 



Irving Kenyon, one of Mr. House's neighbors, will also show a 

 scheme for screening a honey-house; how to open the screen door 

 when the hands and arms are loaded down with supers or hives. 



Mr. E. M. Gibson, of Jamul, Cal., and Mr. O. B. Metcalf, of 



Mesilla Park, N. M., will also furnish us moving pictures of their 

 work among their bees. 



Besides these special illustrated articles we shall have the 

 usuall grist of general bee-matter departments and other ordinary 

 illustrated matter, all of which will make Gleanings f6r the coming 

 year the brightest and best it has ever boon. 



Our Special Inducements. 



To get old subscribers to renew early, so as not to have any lapse 

 in their journals we will make this special offer, to send half a 

 pound of yellow-sweet-clover seed. Meii/otfts ///J/ra, postpaid. Do 

 not forget that in order to get this seed free you must send $1.00 

 before your subscription expires. 



To encourage old subscribers to secure new ones, we will send 

 a one-pound package postpaid, of this yellow-sweet-clover seed to 

 every one who will send us Si, no for a now subscriber. 



Yellow Sweet Clover — Melilotus Indica. What is It? 



This, we believe, is a very remarkable honey-plant. We have 

 been fortunate. we believe, in securing all the seed obtainable in the 

 United States, and we now have on hand something like s carload. 

 The yellow sweet clover that wo have to offer has all the appearance, 

 so far as leaf and blossom are concerned, of the white clover JAV/- 

 A»//c.T tj/^r. except that the plants do not L;row quite so tall, and that 

 the blossoms are yellow. It is an annual, grows readily from seed, 

 and blooms the first season, and muchearlierthan the other variety 

 of yellow aweet clover, J/f//7('//AWJ/:/VW//<///>. and much earlier than 

 the ordinary white sweet clover. It is, therefore, a very valuable 

 forage plant to introduce. Sweet clover, whether yellow or white, 

 is coming to be recognized by prominent agriculturists all over the 

 country as being most valuable for stock almost the equal of alfalfa. 

 It has the advantage over alfalfa that it will grow anywhere; and 

 after it has inoculated the soil it will then be possible to grow alfalfa 

 or anything else. 



Do Not Delay Ordering. 



While we obtained a large quantity of seed, do not make the 

 mistake of waiting too long; for by the time our subscription season 

 fully opens up we expect to be swamped with orders.
