GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Mar. 15. 



IF 



X 



you have net seen the February issue 

 of the Bee keepers' Review you may be 

 interested in the following " ifs. " 



If you would be pleased with a beau- 

 tiful view of an out-apiary in the 

 wilds of Wisconsin, see the frontis- 

 piece in the P'ebruary Review. It is 

 the most picturesque of any view the 

 Review has given. 



^If you would like to know why the 

 owner of this out-apiary began estab- 

 lishing out-apiaries, how he manages 

 them, how he succeeds, and how 

 many hundred colonies he put into 

 winter quarters, read the February 

 Review. 



If you would like to know the views 

 of F. A. Gemmill regarding the foul- 

 brood articles in the Dec. Review — to 

 see him put his finger upon what he 

 considers the weak spot in I\Ir. Tay- 

 lor's article — read the February Re- 

 view. 



If you would like to see Mr. Aspin- 

 wall go carefully over this matter of 

 using plain sections, pointing out 

 circumstances under which he fears 

 trouble, read the February Review. 



,^If 3'ou would learn the secret of in- 

 ducing a newly hived swarm to em- 

 ploy all of its vim by putting honey 

 in the sections, and at the same time 

 avC'id all increase, and secure a big 

 lot of comb honey, read Mr. Golden's 

 article in the February Review. 



If you have any doubts whatever as 

 to which is the best variety of bees 

 for you to keep, 3-011 will be interest- 

 ed in Mr. Crane's article in the Feb- 

 ruary Review. You will find it inter- 

 esting, anyway. 



If you are interested in comb founda- 

 tion, in using that kind in the sec- 

 tions that will give the best results, 

 all things considered, you will be 

 pleased to read Mr. Bingham's arti- 

 cle, " Bees Have Notions." 



If you are not a subscriber to the Re- 



f^ view I am sure you would find it to 

 your advantage to become such ; but, 

 if you prefer to see the Review before 

 sending ftl.O(\ send 10c for the Feb. 

 issue, and with it will be sent the Dec. 

 number and one other back number. 

 This will give you a fair idea of the 

 Review, and, if you then wish to subscribe, the 

 10c that you have paid may apply on the sub- 

 scription. A coupon will be sent entitling you 

 to the Review for 90 cts., if sent during 1898.
