GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

BEES VS. LABOR 



In other words, shall a man spend all his time with 

 a limited number of colonies, griving them extra care, 

 or shall he adopt s^.ort-cut methods and 



"KEEP MORE BEES" ? 



Probably this subject never had a more thoroujfh 

 overhauling than it receives in the March issue of the 

 Bet-keepers' Reriew. and from such men as Taylor, 

 Townsend. Doolittle, and the editor— seven pages are 

 devoted to the discussion. 



Another excellent topic in this issue is handled by 

 that veteran of Northern Michigan, Mr. S. D. Chap- 

 man, and I think he puts up the best argument yet 

 made in favor of 



REQUEENINC ANNUALLY. 



He tells why he requeens, how he does the work, 

 and then shows that the cost need not exceed five 

 cents per colony — and that for labor. 



W. Z. HUTCHINSON, 



The Review is always packed full of just such inter 

 esting. 



REALLY HELPFUL, 



practical articles as these. It is one of the journals 

 that the man keeping bees to make money can't af- 

 ford to do without. 



Just at present you can get all the back numbers of 

 1907, and your name on the subscription list for 1908, 

 for only $1.00, but some of the issues of 1907 are 



GETTING PRETTY LOW, 



and you ought to order soon if you wish a complete 

 file for 1907. 



Your money back if you are not satisfied when you 

 get the back numbers, and you may keep the back 

 numbers in the bargain.
