GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

Brushing Bees Both Ways. 



Mr. K D. Townsend is the most exten"ive bee-keep- 

 er in Michigan. He has made money keeping bee;- as 

 a specialty, and he is telling the readers of the Bee- 

 keepers' Review how he does it. He bet an in Janu- 

 ary, and it lotks now as though the series would run 

 through the entire year. I am sometimes inclined to 

 believe the^e articles the most valuable that have ever 

 appeared in the Review — particularly so for the spe- 

 cialist. They coniaiu litHe that is startling or revolu- 

 tionary—the short cuts and systems that enable him 

 to handle many bees with little labor are what make 

 them valuable. In the April issue he takes up that 



most trying part of extracted-honey production — get- 

 ting the combs off the hives, and the bees ofT the 

 combs. Among other things, he tells how to hold a 

 comb in such a manner that bo h an up-and down, 

 stroke of the brush may be employed, and both sides 

 of the comb cleaned of bees without changing the po- 

 sition of either hand. If you produce extracted ho- 

 ney, J on ought to read thif article. 



Send ten cents for this issue, and the ten cents may 

 aj^'ply on any subscription sent in during the year.
