W. Z. HUTCHINSON, 



ROGERSVILLE, GENESEE CO., MICH., 



Has published a neat little book of in pages, entitled 

 "The Production of Comb Honey." Its distinctive 

 feature is the thorough manner in which it treats 

 of the use and non-use of foundation. Many other 

 points are, however, touched upon. For instance, 

 it tells how to make the most out of unfinished sec- 

 tions, and how to winter bees with the least ex- 

 pense, and bring them through to the honey harvest 

 in the best possible shape. 



Price of book, 25 cents. Stamps taken, either U. 

 S. or Canadian.

 from the best queen obtainable from G. M. Uoolit- 

 tle. Send for circular, with recommendations from
