Uoolillle on <tiieen ICearing. 



Queens can be reared in the upper .stoiies 

 of hives used for extracted honey, where a 

 queen-excluding honey -board is used, which 

 are as good, if not superior, to Queens 

 reared by any other process; and that, too, 

 while the old Queen is doing duty below, 

 just the same as though Queens were not 

 being reared above. This is a fact, though 

 it is not generally known. 



If you desire to kuow how this can l)e 

 done— how to have Queens fertilized in up- 

 per stories, while tlie old Queen is laying 

 Ijelow— how you may safely introdtice any 

 Queen, at any time of tlie year when bees 

 cay Hy— all aljout the different races of 

 bees— all aliout shipping Queens, queen- 

 cages, caudy for i|ueeu-cages, etc. — all 

 about forming nuclei, multiplying or unit- 

 ing bees, or weak colonies, etc. ; or, in fact 

 everything about the queen-busiue.ss which 

 you may want to know, send for " Doolit- 

 tle's Scientific Queen-Rearing;" a book of 

 170 pages, which is nicely l>ound in cloth, 

 and as iuterestiug as any story. Price, 

 $1.00. 



An edition in strong paper covers is is- 

 sued for premiums. It will be mailed as a 

 present to any one who will send us two 

 new subscribers to either of our JoiitXAi.s.
