GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

A Honey Route 



in something the same line as a milkman has a route, 

 has been inaugurated, and put into practice for several 

 years by Mr. C. F. Smith, of Cheboygan, Mich. There 

 is no peddling about it. On certain days, except during 

 the busy time of the year with bees, he goes over a cer- 

 tain route, calling at certain houses, and delivering a 

 certain amount of honey. In this way he sells all his 

 own e.xtracted honey at 13 cents a pound, and then buys 

 and sells thousands of pounds besides. How the honey 



is put up, how the route was established, how he knows 

 at which houses to call, how much honey to bring, etc., 

 are all told in an article that runs thiouuh both the Oc- 

 tober and November Bee-keepers' Review. Send ten 

 cents for these two issues, and the ten cents may apply 

 on any subscription sent in during the year.
