GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Mak. 



Under this head will be inserted, free of charge, the names or 

 all those having honey to sell, as well as those w.anting 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 youV 

 honey away to be sold on commission, 1£ near home, wnere 

 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 hang up in your dooryara. with the words, " Honey 

 for Sale, ' ' neatly painted. If wanted by mail, 10 cents extra for 

 postage. Boards saying ' ' Bees and Queens for Sale, ' ' same 

 p;-ice.

NOTES FROM THE BRIGHT-BAND APIARY. 



FRIENDS:— The last time I appeared under the 

 above head was more than a year ago, at 

 which time, as some will remember, I laid 

 much stress upon the superiority of my queens. 

 Well, now for the result: Quite a number of queens 

 were sold, and thejaext season (which was last sum- 

 mer) still a greater number were sold; in fact, I had 

 orders for more than I could raise; consequently I 

 have removed from my old place (Greenville, Tenn.), 

 to this place, that I might raise earlier queens, and 

 have facilities for raising a greater number of 

 queens. I can now command 500 colonies in the 

 qupca business, if necessary. My intention is to 

 produce queens not excelled by any. Price, untest- 

 ed, but laying, in April, $1.40 each; in May. $1.25 

 each; 90 cents each the rest of the summer. Tftsted 

 nueens, '.in May, f2 00; the rest of summer, $1.75. 

 The above are from imported Italian queens; 

 queens bred from Kingsley's improved bees, same 

 price. Kingsley's improved bee is simply a cross be- 

 tween the Cyprian, Italian, and Holy-Land bees; and 

 in reality they are ahead of any race, both for color 

 and honey-gathering propeasities. Sample live 

 workers sent for 3c to pay postage. 



All orders promptly attended to; safe arrival 

 guaranteed; full directions sent with each queen.
