GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

Three Issues for 10 Cent: 



The question of reiiueening annually, or allowing the bees to 

 do it when they get ready, is of much importance, and I think 

 that 



THE BEST ARGUMENT 



yet in favor of the former is put up by S. D. Chapman in the Bee- 

 kiepers' Review for March — and then he shows how to do it at si 

 cost of only five cents per colony for labor. 

 Many bee-keepers think it necessary to 



OPEN EVERY HIVE 



in the apiary in order to ascertain the condition of the colonies; 

 bat it is astonishing to note the number of things that a veteran 

 can decide without ever opening a hive; and there is certainly 

 some interesting reading in an article on this subject by A. E. 

 Burdick, in the April Review, entitled: Outside Indications of 

 Internal Conditions. 



Probably no queen-breeder in this country has had more ex 

 perience in the production of a 



W. Z. Hutchinson, 



HIGH GRADE OF QUEENS 



in large quantities than has Mr. J. P. Moore, of Morgan, Ky.; 

 and he tells in the May Review "How to Rear the Best Queens 

 at the Lowest Cost." I think it the best article on queen-rearing 

 that I ever read. 



A man's success sometimes turns upon the kind of honey that he 

 produces — that is, whether comb or extracted. 



THERE ARE REASONS 



why you should give one kind the preference. If you are uncer- 

 tain about it, read the article by R. L. Taylor, in the May Review. 

 Its title is "Comparative Advantages of Comb and Extracted 

 Honey Production." 



Send 10 cts. for the March, April, and May issues, and the ten 

 cents may apply on any subscription sent in during the year. 



A SPECIAL OFFER 



will also be sent, showing how you can get the Re 

 year and next at a very low price.
