THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



the double-tier V4:-lb. case as the Standard, the National, or the 

 American shipping case? Xow, if we can only get together and 

 adopt national rules, a big advance will be made. Here in the 

 west, we feel confident, of course, that the Colorado rules would 

 meet with the same approval as have the double-tier case and the 

 4;f4^TLj4xlJ'8-inch section. 



''We are bound to have one universal distributing system before 

 many years, the same as the orange growers, and the move for 

 unity in supplies points the way. It is but a stepping-stone to more 

 economical and direct dealing between producer and consumer. 



"For some reason much more extracted honey was produced in 

 Colorado the past year than formerly. The slow flow that has 

 been the rule for the past few seasons may have had an efifect in 

 driving bee-keepers to extracted honey production. Extracted honey 

 can be bought in Colorado for ^yz cents on the western slope, and 

 for 7^2 to 9 at Colorado common points in eastern Colorado. The 

 freight rate (fourth class) from the western slope to Denver or 

 Pueblo is 75 cents per hinidred, Avhich accoimts for the lower price 

 in western Colorado. 



"Comb honey will remain in favor so long as it' sells so readily, 

 and so lone as extracted honev sells so slowlv."

As boys and girls we all liked to look at pictures. A\ e are only 

 grown up boys and girls now. So we all still like to look at pic- 

 tures, especially if those pictures tell a story. So more pictures 

 have been put in the Review, and I expect to add more in the 

 future. Don't fail to send me that picture of your bees, the old log 

 gum that has held bees so many years, and of that labor-saving 

 appliance which you are using. If you haven't a photo, draw a dia- 

 gram and we will fix it up. 



Tell me how vou like what I have done. 



I have had several calls 

 for cuts of queens. So 

 far 1 have been unab'e to 

 supply ihem, but from now 

 on i c:n furnish you, 

 postpaid, a cut like the 

 one sh.own in this adver- 

 t'sement for tifty cents. 

 Can send you as many as 

 you want at this price.

 Dear Mr. Tyrrell. Detroit. Mich. : 



It is a remarkable fact that the more 

 we learn the more we realize how much 

 we yet have to learn ; and I find that 

 the closer I study each number of The 

 Review, the more it tastes "like more." 

 I wish to extend my sincerest thanks 

 for your efforts for the sake of the 

 ])ee-'^eef ers of the world. 



\>ry rL'sp:ct fully. Paul AIkkwitz.
