GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Jan. 



tcmn §eluttin. 



Under this head wjli be inserted. Tree oC charge, the names or 

 all those having honey to sell, as well as those wanting to buy. 

 Please mention how much, what kind, and prices, as far as pos- 

 sible. As a general thing, I would not advise you to send your 

 honey away to be sold on commission. If near home, where 

 you can look after it. it is often a very good way. By all means, 

 develop your home market. For 25 cents we can furnish little 

 boards to hahg up in your dooryai-a. with the words, ' ' Honey 

 for Sale, " neatly painted. If wanted bvmail. 10 cents extra for 

 postage. Boaida eaying ' ' Bees and Queens for Sale, ' ' same 

 price.
