GLEAXIXGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



June 1 



HONEY BAGS. 



We are now in receipt of a plentiful supply of Aiken 

 honey-bags, which we can furnish promp'.ly at the 

 prices named on another page. Enquiries solicited. 



WANTED. — J. E. KOCH, FORMERLY OF MT. PISGAH, 

 LAGRANGE CO., IND. 



The above person is wanted in order to turn over to 

 him considerable property left by the death of his 

 parents. He was last heard from March 21. 1901. He 

 is wanted by his brother, S. R. Koch, of Mifflin, Ohio. 



PERFORATED ZINC STRIPS. 



In our last issue the notice relating to perforated 

 zinc strips makes me say, "We can not/uss ivith any 

 more of the strips \%, wide," when it should read, "We 

 can noi furnish any more of the strips \% wide, except 

 such stock as may be in the hands of our dealers. 

 Having taken out the old machine, we can not make 

 them on the new one other than ^3 inches wide. 



BEESWAX MORE PLENTIFUL. 



Large quantities of wax have been arriving the past 

 month, and we have in stock over twenty tons — more 

 than we shall need to finish this season. The heavy 

 winter losses of bees have increased the supply of 

 wax. We are obliged to lower the price earlier than 

 we usually do. From now till further notice we will 

 pay 28c cash, 30c trade, for average wax delivered 

 here. 



BUSINESS OUTLOOK. 



Orders from the middle West, especially Missouri, 

 Iowa, and Illinois, are still crowding us, and we are 

 still seven or eight cars behind orders. We are 

 filling most orders with reasonable promptness and 

 our branches and agencies are generally fairly well 

 supplied with goods. We have a surp'us stock of 

 comb foundation, but are well sold up on sections. 

 We have in nine months disposed of several million 

 more than in twelve months of the previous year. 

 With the present prospects for white clover promising 

 a good honey crop, the demand for sections will con- 

 tinue unabated for two or three months longer. 



NEW SIMPLEX HONEY-JAR. 



We have found a new glass jar 

 for one pound of honey, which we 

 think surpasses any other style we 

 ever offered. It has a glass top 

 which screws on to the glass jar 

 with a rubber gasket between. 

 The joint is on a taperso that, the 

 further you screw the cover on, 

 the tighter it makes the joint. It 

 can be sealed absolutely air-tight; 

 has no metal to rust or corrode. 

 t is about % inch higher than the 

 -No. L'o, which improves its appear- 

 ance. We sell them at the same 

 price as the No. 25, and have a 

 carload in stock ready to fill 

 orders. We first learned of this 

 jar nearly a year ago, but have 

 said nothing about it until we had 

 the stock in hand ready to supply. We still have 

 some No. 25 in stock for those who may prefer to con- 

 tinue with it. We believe, however, the Simplex jar 

 will take the place of the No. 25. 



A LIST OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEES FOR S.\LE. 



In our May 1st issue we announced that, as an 

 accommodation to those who had lost heavilv and 

 need bees to start with, we would publish a list of 

 names of the parties having bees to sell in our next 

 issue, but on account of the absence of the writer when 

 the forms were closing; the matter was overlooked. 

 The following list of names has, been compiled from 

 letters received since that date. It is possible that 



a few names have been omitted, unintentionally how- 

 ever, as frequently the request has been embodied 

 with matter going to other departments and may have 

 failed to reach the proper department at this writing. 

 We assume no responsibility forany deals made; some 

 of the parties we know personally and can recom- 

 mend; others we know nothing about. Some of them 

 have one or two colonies only — others have a large 

 number, and the bees are all the way from blacks to 

 fite Italians and the hives are of various patterns. 

 Full particulars in every case must be learned by in- 

 quiry. This list will not be repeated, and names 

 should not be sent us for this purpose after this date. 

 If any names have been omitted that have been re- 

 ceived prior to this date, we will give such a position 

 in our next issue if our attention is called to the matter 

 at once. 



In addition to the list of names herewith, we call 

 the attention to those reeding bees to our advertising 

 columns where prices and descriptions are to be 

 found without the necessity of correspondence:

SOLD OUT. 



The attention of our readers is directed to the fol- 

 lowing letter: 



Dear Sir: Doubtless complaints are being filed 

 against me by your readers as a result of my inability 

 to keep up with the correspondence resulting from a 

 single insertion in Gleanings, now two issues 

 old. By former experience I know this will keep up 

 for three months. I have returned money amounting 

 to many times the value of the hives advertised. This 

 is a responsibility that I do not enjoy. Help me out 

 if you can. S. B Jackson. 



Pittsburg, Pa., May 2i. 



We hope any one who has addressed Mr. Jackson 

 without sending money will not expect a reply, for it 

 is hard enough to answer the letters and return mon- 

 e;y without having to answer a lot of inquiries in addi- 

 tion, especially where nothing is sent for return post- 

 age. In this connection allow us to remind our read- 

 ers having bees or property for sale, that our " Want," 

 " For Sale,'" and " Miscellaneous " columns — in fact, 

 any of our advertising columns, will bring you good 

 return.*. We get abundant testimony to this effect 

 every day.
