In many cases a return of $10.00 in honey has been secured the first year from just such 

 an outfit as this; and in addition one swarm and possibly two may be secured, which prac- 

 tically doubles the value of the investment. 'I'his is not an uncommon occurrence. On 

 the contrary, scores of men have done as well or better, where the conditions were at all 

 favorable. Read these reports. 



Gentlemen:— I must say that the two three-f ranle nuclei that 

 you sent me last year beat anything here by over one-third. It has given them a pretty good name around 

 here. So much for your stock. No more black bees for me. 



Burford, Ont., Canada, Oct. 4, 1909. W. M. Kinsey. 



Gentlemen:— The bees and supplies arrived in perfect condition. So far 

 they have given perfect satisfaction in every way. We opened the bees in the evening at about 4 o'clock, and 

 the next morn na bright and early they were hard at work in the orchard. I have worked aroundthe hives at 

 different tim s to see if the bees would show any signs of resentment, but they seem to be perfectly contented 

 in their new home. Yours very truly, 



Madison, O., May 14, 1908. Wm. S. Hess. Jr. 



Gentlemen:— The three-frame nuclei which I purchased from you on June 

 25th have paid in cash over 100 percent on all outlay, and the pleasure derived from looking after them over 

 200 per cent, They still have about 60 to 65 pounds of honev in the hive. Yours very truly, 



734 Hayden Ave.. Collinwood Sta., Cleveland, O., Oct. 17, 1908. Geo. B. Ogle. 



Gentlemen:— Our bee-outfit arrived in fine condition, and we transferred 

 the bees in the yard, with the whole room of forty boys and girls standing around them. The day was cool and 

 many bees dropped to the ground, apparently dead, but the children found if they held th' m in thtir hands 

 and breathed on them that they would revive, so it ended by boys and girls having hands full of crawling bees 

 The bees were gentle as could be and now the children are not afraid of them, and if one gets on the window 

 in the room, a boy will pick it off and put it out. 



To say we are pleased is stating it mildly. "We are delighted. There are many things we want to know- 

 but have Mr. Root's A B C of Bee Culture from the library and can learn by study and observation. 



Very truly,

ST. PETER'S LUTHERAN CHURCH, NEW YORK, March 11, 1908. 



Dear Sirs:— Enclosed please find my check for renewal of my subscription to 

 Gleanings for five years. I greatly appreciate Gleanings, not only for the good and plain reading-matter, 

 but also because it furnishes many kinks which otherwise one would be unable to find out. These kinks 

 havn enabled me in the last three years to sell from ten colonies on the average over $100.00 per year. I donate 

 the money to my church for charitable purposes, and the members are eager to buy, because they know my 

 honey is absolutely pure. Yours very truly, A. B. Moldenke, D. D. 



The A. I. Root Company, Medina, Ohio 



Enclosed find draft for $25.00, for which please send me Outfit No. 7, as listed 

 above. I understand that you guarantee safe arrival and prepay all charges, if 

 north of Ohio River and east of Mississippi River.
