GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



o( the Bffirrfrrs' Rrvirw is a beekeeper both ai heart and fiom 

 financial interest. He and his brother have charge of several 

 hundred colonies of bees, and he is able to write and edit from 

 actual experience — to look at things from the bee-keeper's point 

 of view. He has nothing to sell except the Reviriv and hard- 

 earned experience. Not only this, but he seems able to instil 



into the pages of the Rrvirtu a breeziness, a cheeriness, an in- 

 spiration that often prove fully as valuable as describing methods 

 of management. If you are keeping bees to make money, you 

 can't afJord not to read the Review. Send ten cents for three late 

 but different issues, and then judge for yourself. The ten cents 

 may apply on the first subsciiption you send.

BEE HUNTING. 



A Book of Valuable Information for Bee Hunters. 

 Tells How to Line Bees to Trees, etc. 



( Thr fnlloirhn) (s lakf)> from the <iu- 

 Ihnr's intrnftiirtiitu to Bfe Ilinitinf/.) 



Many books on sports of various kinds 

 have been written, but outside of an oc- 

 casional article but little has been writ- 

 ten on the subject of Bee Hunting. 

 Therefore, I have tried in this volume — 

 Bee Hunting for Pleasure and Profit — to 

 give a work in compact form, the product of 

 what I have learned along this line during 

 the forty years in nature's school-room. 



Brother, if in reading these pages you 

 find something that will be of value to 

 you, something that will inculcate a de- 

 sire for manly pastime and make your 

 life brighter, then my aim will have 

 been reached. 



The book contains 13 chapters as follows: 

 I. Bee Hunting. 

 II. Early Spring Hunting. 



III. Bee Watering — How to Find Them. 



IV. Hunting Bees from Sumac. 



V. Hunting Bees from Buckwheat. 



VI. Fall Hunting. 



VII. Improved Mode of Burning. 



VIII. Facts About Line of Flight. 



IX. Baits and Scents. 



X. Cutting the Tree and Transferring. 



XI. Customs and Ownership of Wild Bees. 



XII. Benefactors and Their Inventions. 



XIII. Bee-keeping for Profit. 



This book contains 80 pages, paper cover. 

 Price, postpaid, only 25 cents.
