GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



July 1. 



Small Farm and Apiary for Sals f 



in the land where Alfalfa is king, and mel- 3^ 

 ons. cantaloupes, and tomatoes are staple crops. " 

 My lightest yield of honey in the past five years 

 (last season ) was about 90 lbs. per stand (spring 

 count). The year before it was 225 lbs. Improv- 

 ed strains are frequently extracted from ten 

 times in our three-months' flow, obtaining -100 

 and 500 lbs. I do not expect a purchaser with- 

 out satisfying him of the truth of the above. 

 Thee is -40 acres land with water-right, giving 

 you water from the oldest and most reliable 

 ditch in our section 365 days in the year— much 

 more than is needed. Worth $1800. At the close 

 of the honey season (Sept. 15th), when I will 

 give possession, there will probably be about 200 

 stands of bees worth $5 00 per stand. Extract- 

 ing-supers and appliances will go cheap. Rea- 

 son for selling is, the altitude is too high for one 

 of my family with heart trouble. I am 5 miles 

 from' Rocky Ford, S. E., and 7 miles from I v a 

 Junta— towns of about 3000 inhabitants. 1

 Carniolan bees in 10-frame Langstroth and Dovetailed 

 hives. The hives are two-story, with 10 brood and 8 

 extracting frames in top story, all wired for extracting. 

 Combs are straight, and in fine condition ; last year's

 ient location of two acres, well shaded with a comfort-
