GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

J. E. HAND will begin the season of 1909 with improved facilities for rearing the 



CHOICEST QUEENS 



He his developed a system of Queen-rearine that contains all the best points of other methods with none of the de- 

 fects, includinu some valuablt imprtvemtnti of his own — in short, a system through which ir a highest queen develop- 

 ment is reached by ctrrtct and icitniijic principles, which means that he is now in position to offer to the bee-keeping 

 public a hiehrr ^rjde of qufins than is uiualty offrrtd in the common ulitility classes, owing toscientific methods which 

 produce queens of a higher development than can be reared by the ordinary methods in vogue, and also to an improved 

 method of classifying queens which strikes the word select from our list, and gives a square deal to all. No selects 

 means no culls, and the highest grade of queens in the untested and tested classes. These queens will be reared 

 from a superior strain of hardy northern-bred red-clover Italians, " the very best," They are warranted to pro- 

 duce uniformly marked three-banded bees of superior honey-gathering qualities. Price, after June 1, untested, 

 $1.00 each; 6, $5.00; 12, $9.00; tested, $1 50; (^.,$8.00; 12, $15.00. Breeder, tested for queen-rearing, $5.00. Val- 

 uable information free. Seed for it to-day.

Vou have heard of this famous strain, 

 probably. Well, I originated the long- 

 tongued red-clover bees, and have kept the 

 strain pure without any contamination. 

 They are handsome three banded Italians, 

 and show their worth as soon as received. 

 If there is honey to be had they will gather 

 it. My customtrs generally write like this:
