GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



715 



BICYCLES IN TRADE FOR HONEY, BEESWAX, OR CASH, 



AT 115.00. 

 We still have on hand a few of the National Atneri- 

 cau bicycles, which we took in payment of account. 

 These are standard wheels, and are listed at $30. but 

 we got them at a very low price. While we have been 

 selling them at S17, yet, rather than hold them over 

 till next se;-.son, we have decided to let tht-m go for 

 the rest of the season, at 815 00. Each machine, be- 

 fore it leaves us, will be tesied by A. I. Root himself, 

 so that a purchaser may be assured that the wheel 

 will run right when it leaves us. We do not claim 

 these machines are equal to the very best high grades, 

 but they are good value for the monev. if you have 

 honey, send sample and we will name you a price we 

 will give in trade. We will take first quality of white 

 comb honey or any grade of extracted. 



CHOICE LOTS OF EXTRACTED HONEY. 



We have secured a number of choice lots of white 

 extracted honey which we offer subject to previous 

 sale as follows :

THAT S200 RED-CLOVER QUEEN AGAIN. 



We finally have her, and she seems to be fully equal 

 to our red-clover queen of years ago. The colonv of 

 this queen has given one of the most remarkable 

 showings on red cK^ver of any bees we have ever had, 

 notwithstanding the stock has been robbed rtrpeattdly 

 of young larvae for queen-rearing. The queen in 

 que.-tion is an imported one, and, therefore, of the 

 genuine pure leather-colored Italian stock. We have 

 been sending out daughters from her all the sea.son, 

 but we had not discovered her value until the clover 

 season, second growth, came on, and then her colony 

 so far out-dibtauced all the other 450 that she attracted 

 attention at once. 



We can not i-ell her daughters untested any more 

 for 75 cts.; but when taken with Gleanings we will 

 sell them for 81.00 ; that is to say, we will send Glean- 

 ings one year, and an untested red clover queen from 

 this 8200 mother for $2.00 ; a tested queen ot this same 

 stock, and Gleanings one year, for $4.00 : or a select 

 tested and Gleanings lor one year $6.00. These 

 queens will be sold only in connection with Glean- 

 ings. 



Although these queens have been offered only a 

 week there is a great demand for them, and thrrefore 

 we can only guarantee that the orders will be filled 

 in rotation and st nt as fast as they are ready to send 

 out. Those who .send orders immediately will stand 

 the best show of getting stock at once. We can not 

 guarantee to supply, this season, select tested stock, 

 as we may not have it, as such queens will neces.sarily 

 be limited, but we ihi'nk we can furnish all that will 

 be called for. 



It must, however, be understood that these queens 

 are not golden yellow, neither are their bees of the 

 five-banded stock. They are sinitly leather-colored 

 Italians wh ise mother came direct from italy. Those 

 who desire queens of this .stock had better get them 

 this season, as the queen may die this winter. At the 

 present time we are setting aside some of her choice 

 tested queens for next sea.son, to test for our own use. 



The annual meeting of the Northern Illinois Bee- 

 keepers' Asociati n will De held in the court-house in 

 Freeport, III., on Tuesday and Wt dnesday, October 

 16 and 17, 1900. All interested in bees are invited to 

 attend. B. Kennedy, Sec.
