GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



November, 1919 



Fig. 4. — Mr. Gear's outdoor wax-rendering outfit with which he has melted up thousands of combs, and 

 cleaned up all of his apiaries. There is nothing in the world that will scent up a house like rendering foul- 

 broody combs inside. Mr. Gear has not only an eye to business, but he has considered the conveaiience and 

 comfort of his best queen — the one who runs the house and cooks his meals. 



More beekeepers registered at the Madison Beekeepers' Chautauqua than at any other short course yet held.
