GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



TESTED 



Queens are usually sold for $2.00. I will ex- 

 plain why I wish to sell a few at less than that. 

 As most of my readers know, I requeen my 

 apiary each spring- with young- 



From (he Soulh. This is done to do away with 

 swarming-. If done early enough it is usually 

 successful. Jt will be seen that the queens 

 displaced by tbese young queens are never 

 more than a year old: in tact, they are fine 

 tested Italian queens, right in tliHr prime; yet, 

 in order that they may move ofif quickly, and 

 thus make room for the untested queens, they 

 will be sold for only 



$1.00. 



Or 1 will send the Rfioieiv for ]H94 and one of 

 these queens for only .fl.Vo. Fur K.uO 1 will 

 send the ftevinc, the (jiieen, and the book "Ad- 

 vanced Bee Culture." If any prefer the young- 

 laying- queens from the South, they can have 

 them instead of the tested queens, at the same 

 price. A discount given on large orders for 

 untested queens. Say how many are wanted, 

 and a price will be made.
