GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



217 



= 300 Queens Mated = 



^^By Using the Bees of Only One Colony .^^ 



Only ten bees have cared for a queen until she was 

 mated ! Virgin queens introduced at any age— often 

 mated the next day after they are introduced ! No 

 permanent nuclei ! No breaking up a lot of colonies 

 into nuclei ! No fertile workers. Isolated mating to 

 drones of a selected colony easily secured ! 



All this has been accomplished, and W. H. Laws, 

 of Beeville, Texas, who has enjoyed these advantages 



for more than a year, will tell all about them in an 

 illustrated article that will appear in the March issue 

 (about March 15th) of the Bee-keepers' Review. 



Send ten cents, and as soon as this issue is out it will 

 be sent to you, and the ten cents may apply on any 

 subscription sent in during the year.

MAPLE-SUGAR MAKERS, 



Don't Miss a g-ood investment. 



As horses vary in price according to quality, so do sap-spouts. The GRIMM 

 Spout costs j-ou nothing. The gain of one fourth more sap pays for it. It's a 

 conservative guarantee. Purchaser assumes no rik. Why not venture? Order 

 what you need and return if not as represented. Samples free.
