Rearing; One's Own Queens. 



Is it advii-alile for the small bee-keeper to 

 rear his own (lueensJ is answered by Wurtb, 

 in Die Hiene, with a decided no! 



The great bee-master, Gravenhorst, is 

 i|uoted as saying some years ago : 



" We have neither found it practical nor 

 paying, not even tor the extensive bee-l<eeper. 

 to enter into <iueen-rearing Ijefore the regular 

 swarming season." Perhaps, adds Wunh,he 

 was as satisfied as we are of the changing of 

 queens unl3el<nown to the bee-keeper.'' —

Oivlng Empty Supers on Top or Be= 

 low in a Heavy Flow. 



The following Stray Straw from Gleanings 

 in Bee-Culture shows that at least in a heavy 

 flow it does not always seem best to give ad- 

 ditional room by adding empty supers only 

 on top: 



"Every four or five days we overhaul the 

 supers on the hives, taking off those that are 

 finished, and giviiig empty sections where 

 needed. The empty super is put below all 

 the others; and as few have less than 4, and 

 many 5 and ti supers, it's a good deal of work

QUEEN-BEE FEEE 



To Our Regular Paid-in-Advance Subscribers. 



We have arranged with several of the best queen-breeders to supply us during- 1903 with The Very Best Untested 

 Italian Queens that they can possibly rear — well worth $1.00 each. We want every one of our present regular subscribers 

 to have at least one of these Queens. And we propose to make it easy for you to get one or more of them. 



A QUEEN FREE FOR SENDING ONE NEW SUBSCRIBER. 



In the first place, you must be a regular subscriber to the American Bee Journal, and your own subscription mus 

 be paid at least 3 months In advance. If it is not already paid up, you can send in the necessary amount to make it so 

 when you order one of these fine Queens. 



Send us $1.00 and the name (not your own) and address of One NEW subscriber for the American Bee Journal, and 

 we will mail you one of the Queens free as a premium. 



Now, go out among your bee-keeping neighbors and friends and invite them to subscribe for the old American Bee 

 Journal. If you want some to show as samples, we will mail you, for the asking, as many copies of the American 

 Bee Journal as you can use. 



Should there be no other bee-keepers near you, and you desire one of these fine Queens any way, send us $1.50 and 

 we will credit your subscription for one year and also mail you a Queen. Of course, it is understood that the amount sent 

 will pay your subscription at least one year in advance of the present time. So, if your subscription is in arrears, be sure 

 to send enough more than the SI. SO to pay all that is past due also. 



We prefer to use all of these Queens as premiums for getting new subscribers. But if any one wishes to purchase 

 them aside from the Bee Journal subscription, the prices are as follows : 

 One Queen, 7Sc.; 3 Queens, $2.10 ; 6 Queens for $4.00. 

 We are filling orders almost by return mail. 



Now for the new subscribers that you will send us — and then the 

 Queens that we will send you I Address,
