GLEANINGS IN BEE CIFLTURE. 



Feb. 



one swarm that is hard to beat for brown bees. I 

 don't like the name " black." We took from it 17.5 

 lbs. in pound sections. How is that for an A B, not 

 yet to C, scholar? Three years ago we hardly knew 

 a drone from a worker. We have not lost one yet in 

 wintering. We thank the ABC book for it", with 

 Gleanings to help. We could not do without 

 your journal. I miss Our Homes every other week. 

 1 would rather have it come twice a week than 

 twice a month. John H. Kirk.
