GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



A LANGSTROTH SKETCH 



As the general public never tires of new and true stories about 

 Lincoln, so bee-keepers ever welcome any new glimpse of the 

 life of the father of modern bee culture — L. L. Langstrolh; hence 

 it can be imagined with what pleasure the Bee-keepers' Review, 

 in its Februaiy issue, publishes a sketch of his life as written by 

 Jennie Brooks, who knew him intimately from her earliest 

 childhood until she had grown to womanhood. 



It contains some of the most graphic yet touchingly beautiful 

 things that have ever been written of Langstroth; and after read-« 

 ing this sketch I can well understand why articles from her pen 

 have graced the pages of Harper's and Lippincott'sand other lead- 

 ing magazines. 



Her home is now in Kansas; yet last summer she visited Ox- 

 ford. Ohio, that she might make photographs of the old Langstroth 



home, the old apple-orchard whe.e once stood his apiary, and the 

 spot where he planted his famous " honey-garden;" and the Re- 

 view considers itself fortunate in being able to lay before its 

 readers all of these interesting mementoes. 



These heartfelt girlhood memories, and the pictures of the old 

 home and its surrounding, have touched my heart legarding Lang- 

 stroth in a way that it has never before been touched. 



If you would like to enjoy this glimpse of Langstroth, as seen 

 bv a little girl, send ten cents for this issue, and with it will be 

 sent two other late but different numbers, together with a four- 

 page circular that gives some clubbing prices that are away 

 down, down, down. The ten cents may apply on a subscription 

 if you send one later.
