"IJee-Keepliig by 20th Century 

 Method.s ; or J. E. Hand's Method of 

 Controlling Swarms," is the title of a 

 new booklet just issued from the press 

 of Gleanings in Bee Culture. While it 

 is written particularly to describe Mr. 

 Hand's methods of controlling swarms 

 by means of his new patented bottom- 

 board, the booklet contains a great 

 deal of other valuable matter, among 

 which is the following: The hive to 

 adopt; re-queening; American foul 

 brood; wintering bees; out-apiaries; 

 feeding and feeders; section honey; 

 pure comb honey; conveniences in the 

 apiary; producing a fancy article of 

 extracted honey; swarm prevention by 

 re-queening; increasing colonies, etc. 

 The price of this booklet is 50 cents 

 postpaid, but we club it with the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal for a year— both for 

 $1.30. Address all orders to the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal, 117 North Jeflferson
