shaken from two or three of the secoml 

 lot of combs into the one placed on the 

 ventilator, to start the necessary ex- 

 citement ill it, when the latter is set 

 ofT to make ready for the acceptance of 

 cups. I!y the time the brood in the 

 second set is sealed, the bees will have 

 emerged from the tirst set, and the 

 latter can be disposed of, the (jueen- 

 cells removed from the second set as 

 recommended, with the first, the sec- 

 ond used over the ventilator, and 

 another set placed under it for the 

 brood to become sealed. Thus man- 

 aged the same hive can be used the 

 season through, and the combs and 

 adhering bees, whenever a set is re- 

 moved as above described, can be used 

 in forming nuclei. 



The idea is to use bees for accepting 

 cups that were only a few hours pre- 

 viously deprived of unsealed brood and 

 queen, either by taking them from the 

 queen and brood, or the brood and 

 queen from them, and thus have them 

 in a condition to accept larv;i' at once, 

 in a hole in a block, or wherever found, 

 regardless of the crudeness of the 

 transfer or preparation.

FOR GETTING NEW SUBSCRIBERS. 



Red Clover Queens 



FOR 1902 FREE! 



Long'-Tong'ue Variety — Warranted Purely Mated 



We have arranged with the queen-breeder who furnished Long-Tongue Red Clover Queen 

 for us during the season of 1901, to fill our orders this season. Although fully 95 percent of 

 the untested queens he sent out were purely mated, this season all that he mails for us will be 

 warranted purely mated. 



We want every one of our present subscribers to have one or more of these money-maker 

 Queens. We have received most excellent reports from the queens we supplied last season. 

 And this year our queen-breeder says he expects to be able to send out even better Queens, if 

 that is possible. He is one of the very oldest and best queen-breeders. His bees average quite 

 a good deal the longest tongues of any yet measured. The Breeder he will use is direct from 

 Italy, having imported her himself. Her worker-bees are large, of beautiful color, very gentle, 

 scarcely requiring veil or smoke. 



Orders for these fine, 'Mong-reach " Warranted Queens will be filled in rotation — ''first 

 come first served " — beginning as early in June as possible. It is expected that orders can be 

 filled quite promptly (even belter than the past season), as a much larger number of queen-rear- 

 ing nuclei will be run. (But never remove the old queen from the colony until you have re- 

 ceived the new one, no matter from whom you order a queen). 



All Queens will be guaranteed to arrive in good condition, and will be clipped, unless other- 

 wise ordered. 



A Warranted Italian Oueen for Sending us only TWO NEW 

 YEARLY SUBSCRIBERS. 



In order that every one of our subscriljers who wants one of these Warranted Queens this 

 season can easily earn it, we will bool^ your order as follows: 



No. 1. — For sending us the names and addresses of two new subscribers to the Amer- 

 ican Bee .Journal and $2.00, we will mail you one of these queens free. 



No. 2.— Or, for sending us one iini< subscription at .?1.00, and 30 cents more (4^1.30), we will 

 mail you a queen, and the Bee Journal for one year to the new subscriber. 



No. 3. — Or, send us $1.60 and we will send to Ton the Bee Journal for one year, and also 

 a queen. 



This indeed is an opportunity to get a superior Queen, and at the same time help swell the 

 list of readers of the old American Bee Journal. 



We are now ready to book the Queen orders, and also to enroll the new subscriptions. Re- 

 member, the sooner you get in your order the earlier you will get your Queen. We hope that 

 every one of our present readers will decide to have at least one of these Queens. Address,

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicaoo, JuneT.— The honey market is in a 

 waitintf attitude; there in more comb on Hale 

 than for several Junes of recent years; most of 

 it is out of condition from one cause and an- 

 other, chieily by taavinif grained; therefore a 

 very liijln yield this year would not help the 

 crop now on hand of last year. l'rice« are with- 

 out special chan({e in either comb or extracted
