THE BEE-KEEPERS' 



REVIEW! 



for Feb. is now out. (It has been delayed by the 

 serious illness of its editor.) The special topic of 

 this number is " Temperature," as applied to bee- 

 repositories. So much information upon this topic 

 has probably never before been gathered into so 

 small a space. The treatment is exhaustive, and it 

 would seem that nothing more need be said upon 

 this subject. 



Among the contributors to this number are such 

 men as R. L. Taylor, James Heddon, H. R. Board- 

 man, F. Boomhower, T. F. Bingham, J. H. Martin, 

 J. A. Buchanan, and C. C. Miller. Several pages 

 are devoted to editorials upon a variety of live 

 topics. There are also choice extracts from the 

 writings of Prof. Cook, C. W. Dayton, C. C. Miller, 

 and others. 



A detailed list of contents will not be published, 

 as a copy will be cheerfully sent to all who ask for 

 It. Price of the Review, .50c a year. 



THE PRODUCTION OF COMB HONEY. 



A neat little book of 45 pages; price 25 cts. The 

 Review and this book for 65 cts. Stamps taken, 

 either L'. S. or Canadian. Address

Black and Hybrid Queens For Sale. 



For the benefit of friends who have black or hybrid queens 

 which they want to dispose of, we will insert notices free of 

 charge, as below. We do this because there is ha»'dly value 

 enough to these queens to pay for buying them up and keep- 

 ing them in stock; and yet it is oftentimes quite an accommo- 

 dation to those who can not afford higher-priced ones. 



Ready to mail now, 30 mismated queens, Italians, 

 at 50 cts. each. G. Oberkampf,
