BEE HUNTING. 



A Book of Valuable Information for Bee Hunters. 

 Tells How to Line Bees to Trees, etc. 



(The following is taken from the au- 

 thor's introduction to Bee Hnnting.) 



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: 

 1. Bee Hunting. 



Early Spring Hunting. 



Bee Watering — How to Find Them. 



Hunting Bees from Sumac. 



Hunting Bees from Buckwheat. 



Fall Hunting. 



Improved Mode of Burning. 



Facts About Line of Flight. 



Baits and Scents. 



Cutting the Tree and Transferring. 



Customs and Ownership of Wild Bees. 



Benefactors and Their Inventions. 



Bee-keeping for Profit. 



This book contains 80 pages, paper cover. 



Price, postpaid, only 25 cents. 



With CLEANINGS one year, $1.10.

A YEAR'S WORK IN AN OUT- 

 APIARY; 



OR, 



An average of 114/^ pounds of 

 honey per colony in a poor 

 season, and how it was done. 



By G. M. DOOLITTLE. 



Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson says: "A Year's Work 

 in an Out-apiary is packed full of the most valu- 

 able information that has ever been given to bee- 

 keepers " 



The author says: " While the book is intended 

 for the specialist it is none the less desirable for 

 the plain, every-day bee-keeper, with his one 

 home apiary, or for the amateur with his five or 

 six colonies." 



There have been so many inquiries for this 

 book from those who are already subscribers to 

 Gleanings that we repeat here our offer D2, as 

 follows :
