GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



MY BRO. ELMER 



has kept bees 25 years, and for three years has managed our 

 apiaries in Northern Michiean. He has never written any for 

 publication, but I have often admired his clear, plain, well- 

 expressed manner of writing — in fact, the editor of Gleanings 

 once expressed his surprise that 1 had not had him writine for the 

 Rn'inv. At last I have induced him to take up the pen, and 

 write a series of articles. 



He will begin in the spring and go over the season's work, 

 describing the methods employed until the bees are back in the 

 cellar ready for winter. The first article appears in the March 



Rfviezf, and tells, among other things, how bees may be taken 

 from ihe cellar, even thouKh there are several apiaries, with no 

 trouble whatever from their flying while being carried out, nor 

 from their mixing or "drifting" when taking their first flight. 

 Send ten cents for the March issue, and with it will be sent 

 two other late but different issues, also a four-page circular giving 

 some very low clubbing offers. The ten cents may apply on a 

 subscription if sent in later.
