More Bee-keepers' Paradises. 



E. R. Root has just returned from a 6,000-mile trip through some of 

 the best bee locations in the world, and has already begun his series of 

 write-ups, accompanied with fine photos, in GLEANINGS IN BEE CUL- 

 TURE. The following editorial appears Aug. 1st, and will give some- 

 thing of an idea of what he will describe: 



Some little time ago I promised to tell about the bee-keepers' paradises in Texas. 

 I have this on the docket, and it will appear as I take up the line of my travels. But 

 since running across that paradise I have run into two or three others. There is 

 one W*-st of the Rockies, in Colorado, that is not yet overstocked witli bees or bee- 

 keepers: another one in central Idaho — in fact, I do not know but the whole State. 

 These will be described in turn. The fact is, millions of capital are being invested 

 in irrigation; irrigation means alfalfa; alfalfa means a paradise for bees. But I 

 found all along my trip that alfalfa-growing preceded bee-keeping by two or three 

 years, for it seems to take about that length of time before the bee-keepers find 

 these gold mines that have been hitherto unoccupied. 



If you are dissatisfied with your present location, and for financial reasons, or on 

 account of health, will be compelled to leave, subscribe for OLEANINOS IN BEE 

 CULTURE and learn something about the great South and the great West. There 

 are many locations in the West that are not yet occupied — splendid bee locations. 

 If you wish to learn about them, send 15 cents for a three months' trial subscription, 

 or 25 cents for a six months' trial, or $1.00 for one year and one untested Italian 

 queen. Or send $3.00 and we will send GLEANINGS one year and one of our cele- 

 brated red-clover queens.
