GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Mar. 15 



QUEENS, QUEENS 



Old Standbys.— The A. I. Root Co., to whom we 

 have sold queens for many years, wrote us last May, 

 thus: "Are you running low on queens? We hope 

 not, as you seem to be our standbys. Send us 24 pel 

 week instead of 12, till further orders." 



Beat Any Thing He ever 5aw.— The Cyprian queens 

 you sent me last year beat any thing I ever saw rear- 

 ing brood and filling their hives with honey.— J. Niel- 

 son, Huntington, Utah, Sept. 4, 1901. 



Is Great.— The nucleus you sent me last fall is great 

 — the finest queen that ever crossed the plains. 

 Please duplicate her this time. Mr. Jordan says the 

 nucleus you sent him cast two fine swarms. — G. R. 

 Warren, Fruitvale, Cal., May 12, 1901. 



$50 Queens.— My nice queen that you sent me, and 

 I put in a hive with a handful of bees on the 6th day 

 of last June, has now nearly filled her 30-lb. super foi 

 the third time. No man's $50.00 bill could take her. 

 Please send me another one like her as soon as possi- 

 ble, and keep a dozen ready for me like her for the 

 20th of April next, and I will make you a nice present. 

 — M. Brown, Station A, yttle Rock, Ark.

MADE TO ORDER 



Bingham Brass Smokers, 



Made of sheet brass, which does not rust or burn out; should last 

 a lifetime. You need one, but they cost 25 cts. more than tin of the 

 same size. The little open cut shows our brass hinge put on the 

 three larger sizes. No wonder Bingham's four-inch smoke-engine 

 goes without puffing, and does not drop inky drops. The perforat- 

 ed steel fire-grate has 381 holes to air the fuel and support the fire. 

 Heavy tin smoke-engine, 4-inch stove, per mail, |1.50 ; 3^-inch, 

 $1.10; 3-inch. $1.00; 2^-inch, 90c; 2-inch, 65c. Bingham smokers are 

 the originals, and have all the improvements, and have been the 

 standard of excellence for 23 years. Only three larger ones brass. 



T. F. Bingham, Farwell, Michigan.
