GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



Feb 1 





t 



B E K»K E. E P I N G is almost as 



old as creation 



itself, modern apiculture dates back hardly more 



than fifty years, and the period of greatest activity in 



the development of our present systems was twenty to thirty 



years ago. Many of the old writers of those most interesting days are 



still with us, and they will write special articles for the March number of 



Ufye American 

 Bee-keeper 



(next month), which is to be an " Old Boys' " number; and the pic- 

 tures of the writers will also appear in connection with what they have 

 to say in their reminiscent letters. This number will contain forty 

 pages, profusely illustrated and highly educational. The American 

 Bee-keeper is in its 18th year. Subscription 50 cents per year, or 

 three years for $1.00 in advance.
