GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Oct. 1. 



■of advice to those who must be beginners in 

 bee-keeping Every month has its detailed 

 account of what to do and how to do it. In 

 this regard they set a good pace for American 

 journals. It might be remarked, too, that the 

 foreign journals draw more from sources out- 

 side of beedom than do those of America ; and 

 there seems to be a more intimate touch be- 

 tween the government and the various bee- 

 associations there than here. We get some 

 ten French and German bee-journals here, be- 

 besides one Spanish and one Italian. The 

 French in particular are very interesting. 

 Their printing is extremely accurate, an error 

 being almost unknown, which remark applies 

 to all the foreign journals I have seen.
