CHEAP SECTIONS ! CHEAP SECTIONS ! 



We have at this Branch among; the Stock purchased of Thoe. G Newman the following 

 stock of Sections— not of our manufacture— which we desire to close out to make room for our 



Superior Extra Polished Sections. 



In order to close tliein out quickly we offer them for the next GO daj-s, or while they last, at 

 these special prices : 



White Sections, 4!4x4^. Cream Sections, i^xia. 



40,000 1 15-16) 1,000 fortl. 75 10,000 1 15-16 I 1.000 for $1.25 



50,000 I'i ]■ 2.000 for .3.00 20,000 1 'i V 2,000 for 2.00 



80,000 7-to-ft. i 5,000 for 7.00 1.000 7-toft. ) 5,000 for 4.50 



With all orders for less than 5.000. add 25 cts. for cartage. 

 These Sections are of Wisconsin manufacture, and when made were doubtless considered 

 as good as the best; but as compared with our Extra Polished Sections they are not up to the 

 standard of to-day. but a decided bargain and should be closed out quljkly at these very low 

 prices. If you prefer a sample before ordering we will mail one for 5 cts. to cover postage.

Unquccnin^ During the Harvest 



Query 3.— Do you practice unqueening a 

 colony during the honey harvest? If so, 

 why ?— Tenn. 



R. L. Taylor— No. 



Jas. A. Stone — No. 



H. D. Cutting— No. 



G. M. Doolittle— No. 



W. G. Larrabee — No. 



Prof. A. J. Cook— No. 



Mrs. L. Harrison — No. 



Rev. E. T. Abbott— No. 



W. R. Graham — I do not. 



J. M. Hambaugh — No, no. 



Mrs. J. N. Heater — I do not. 



Eugene Secor — I never have. 



Dr. J. P. H. Brown — No, sir. 



Rev. M. Mahin — No, and I do not be- 

 lieve in it. 



Dr. C. C. Miller — I gave it up some 

 years ago. 



B. Taylor — I have never made it pay 

 to dequeen. 



P. H. El wood — Yes, when we do not 

 wish to increase, we do it to prevent 

 swarming. 



C. H. Dibbern — No; I allow the bees 

 to manage the requeening business, as I 

 believe they know more about it than 

 I do. 



J. A. Green — Sometimes. In order to 

 prevent or control swarming, and to 

 keep colonies supplied with young 

 queens. 



Chas. Dadant «fc Son — No. It is too 

 much trouble, and we do not consider it 

 practical. There is lots more of this 

 done on paper than in the apiary. 



E. France — Some seasons we have 

 caged queens during the honey harvest. 

 I have not room here to explain the rea- 

 sons why and when it should be done. 



Allen Pringle — I practice no foolish- 

 ness of that sort. It might possibly be 

 wise for some bee-keepers in some locali- 

 ties to " unqueen," but it is otherwise 

 with me and in my locality. 



J. E. Pond — I unqueen a colony at any 

 time, when I desire to make a change, 

 without regard to the "honey harvest." 

 I do not unqueen colonies, though, in the 

 " honey harvest," with the intent to get 

 more honey by so doing, as I think it 

 doesn't pay to do so. 



G. W. Demaree — No. I can bear the 

 expense of rearing young bees during 

 the honey-llow better than I can after 

 the honey harvest is over, for there must 

 be a succession of young bees if the col- 

 onies are to be in readiness to get their 

 winter stores from fall bloom.
