THIS unique 

 little en- 

 graving rep- 

 resents Cupid 

 "clothed and 

 in his right 

 mind." It al- 

 so shows that, 

 when busy 

 with the pret- 

 ty flowers, he 

 has no use for 

 his bow and 

 arrows. The 

 flery darts lie 

 unused at his 

 feet. His ac- 

 tion in this 

 respect reminds us of one trait in the character of 

 a bee ; when intent upon the blossoms she has no in- 

 clination to use her "fiery dart." There is, however, 

 quite a difference in bees in this respect. Some are 

 far more inclined than others to thrust in the 

 " barbed arrows." In the character of bees there 

 are still other peculiarities. Some are more indus- 

 trious than others; some cling more tightly to the 

 combs; some cap the honey more white; some work 

 more readily in the supers, etc. There is not space 

 here to enumerate all the characteristics of each 

 variety of bees; but in the 



BEE-KEEPERS'' REVIEW 

 for March much space is given to the discussion of: 

 " Which are the best bees'?" The same bee may not 

 be the best for every purpose and all localities. If 

 you are in doubt as to which is the best bee for you, 

 read this number. It will be sent free, and with it, 

 will be sent the May and June numbers of 1888. 



Price of the REVIEW, 50 cts. a year. Back 

 numbers furnished. 



The Production of Comb Honey is a neat 

 little book of 45 pages; price 25 cts. This book and 

 the REVIEW one year for 65 cts. For $1.00 the RE- 

 VIEW will be sent two years, and the book 

 "thrown in." Stamps taken, either U. S. or Cana- 

 dian, w. Z. HUTCHINSON,
