GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

The Review a Home=made Journal. 





THE starting of the Review was a reckless undertaking. 

 It was started without capital — except the good will 

 of bee-keepers. Advertising, previous to its publica- 

 tion, brought in enough money to get out the first issue. 

 After this there was, for a time, a race between receipts 

 and expenditures. The latter came out ahead ; and then 

 a radical change was made. Type and materials for 

 printing were bought, on time ; one part of the home was 

 given up for an office, and the editor commenced another 

 rash undertaking — that of attempting, without previous 

 experience, to set up the type and make up the forms of 

 a magazine. The work was difficult, yet fascinating. 

 Some help was hired at first, but the wife and children 

 soon became imbued with the spirit of enterprise. They 

 addressed the wrappers, folded and stitched the papers, 

 and wrapped them up for mailing — and the life of the 

 Review was saved. What seemed a misfortune, now al-

that most publishers have to pay for rent and composi- 

 tion can be put into engravings, good paper, new type, and other improvements. 



Send 10 cents for three late but different issues, and the 10 cents may apply on any sub- 

 scription sent in during the year.

Queens by Return Mail. 



Daughters of best imported Italian queen mothers; 

 reared by Doolittle method: warranted purely mated 

 to drones of imported stock from a different source — 

 hence, a direct cross. Fourteen \ ears as a honey- 

 producer on a large scale has taught me what good 

 queens mean to the producer, as well as how to rear 

 them. Price of queens 50 cts. each. Safe delivery and 

 satisfaction in every case, or money refunded.

 marked 3 banded workers. Price 75 cts. each.
