GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



June 1. 



TESTED 



Queens are usually sold for $3.00 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 the South. This is done to do away with 

 swarming. If done early enough it is usually 

 successful. It will he seen tliat tlie queens 

 displaced by these young queens are never 

 more than a year old: in fact, they ai'e tine 

 tested Italian queens, right in their prime; yet. 

 in order that they may move off quickly, and 

 thus make room for the untested queens, they 

 will be sold for only 



Or I will send the Review for 1894 and one of 

 these queens for only $1.75. For $2.00 I will 

 send the Review, the queen, and the book "Ad- 

 vanced Bee Culture." It 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.
