Gleanings in Bee Culture. 



Leading bee-keepers find that it pays them to read at least two good 

 bee journals. In addition to The American Bee-keeper why not send us 



for Gleanings 



the rest of the year. ^ 



See what Geo. W. York says of GLEANINGS : 



"I don't know what has gotten into GLEANINGS the last" two 

 numbers. It is the only bee paper that I allow to interfere with my 

 regular meals; that is, when it comes just before meal time; and when it 

 fails to come until several days after I think it is due, it sort of spoils my 

 appetite. If I only knew who to blame for the delay I might perhaps fe^l 

 differently, but it is very aggravating, to say the least. I think I will 

 have to have my copies delivered by special messenger hereafter."
