GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

W. Z. HUTCHINSON, 



ROGERSVILLE, GENESEE CO., MICH., 



HAS the j)ei'mission of the writer to publish the 

 following': 



Forest City, Iowa, March a«, 1887. 

 W. Z. Hutchinson, Kogersvillu, Mich.— Dear Sir 

 and Friend:— I am in receipt of your pamphlet— 

 " The Production of Comb Honey." It is the neatest 

 little thing- I have seen lately. As a work of art it 

 is as near perfection as printer.s in ' country' ofHces 

 usually attain to. I venture the opinion that that 

 cover was the work of a bee-keeper, or at least orig:- 

 inated in his (your) creative brain. Nobody but a 

 bee-keeper would have thouffht of such a unique 

 and appropriate covering:. The subject is treated 

 in a very readable and creditable manner. I have 

 been practicing' substantially the same method, ex- 

 cept the non-use of foundation. I shall try that 

 this season. Respectfully yours, Eugene Secob. 



JS^Reader, if you wish to enjoy the same plea- 

 sure as did Mr. Secor, send 35 cts., and a copy of the 

 book will be sent postpaid. lOtfdb. 



LOOK HERE ! 



Dollar queens ready to ship; 500 lbs. of bees; 1000 

 lbs. comb foundation, and a large stock of supplies. 

 Wjll be sold at rock-bottom prices. Send for our 

 price list of 1S87, now out.
