GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

HANDSOME, GENTLE BEES. 



Red-clo-ver Strain of Hustlers. 



Buy from tha Originator of tills Famous 

 Strain: F. J. WARDELL, Uhrichsvllle.O. 



When you are looking around for some- 

 thing better than the ordinary, try my 

 celebrated strain of long-tongued red- 

 clover Italians. They are the result of 

 careful breeding for 25 years. No other 

 strain of bees ever achieved the same popu- 

 larity this has. I have them pure, and yet 

 charge no more than others do for ordi- 

 nary stock. Send for my circular. 



In regard to their merits I get many 

 testimonials. Here is a sample one: 



Dr. Reginald Munson, 



Office and rtsidence 31OI P St., N. W. 



Washineton, D. C, Jan. 17, 1909. 

 Mr. F. J. Wardkll, Uhrichsville, O. 



Dtar Sir: — The queen sent me is handsome and the 

 bees are gentle. I received her too late in the season 

 to form much of an idea of the honey-gathering quality 

 of her bees, but observe that they are uniform in color 

 and of good size, and believe the colony will distinguish 

 itself next season. 1 shall be glad to let you know the 

 result. Yours very truly, Reginald Munson.

 Fine well-bred queens are his specialty; and in all the queens 

 mailed during the past 18 years there is not a displeased customer 

 that 1 know of. On the other band, letters of praise come from 

 every soarce. Mr. Wm. Hughes, of Washing-on, D. C, writes 

 that he has been handling queens for the past twenty years, and 

 he has never found any that equal or please him so well as the 

 two dozen he bought of me last season. I can and do mail 

 queens every month in the year, California and Cuba taking over 

 100 io the past month of December. I will mail queens from 

 now on at the one price of $1.00 each or 6 for $5.00 Breeding

A Splendid Opportunity 



Owing to circumstances beyond my control, it seems 

 best that I should dispose of my queen-rearing apiary of 

 about 40 colonies of high-grade Italian bees, with all ac- 

 cessories for queen-rearing. Hives, extractor, combs, and 

 every thing pertaining to an apiary for queen-reating and 

 honey production. Good will, list of customers, etc., go 

 with the bees. Purchaser may have the option of leasing 

 yard and house-room if he wishes to leave the bees where 

 they are. Honey-house on the ground. 



THIS IS A Splendid Opportunity 



for some young energetic man who is interested in bees. 

 Apiary is located at Blutlton, Mo. Address me at Rhine- 

 land, Mo., for list of what I have to sell, and price.
