GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



COMB-HONEY OUTFIT No. 5 



It Is a matter of some difficulty tor the average beginner 

 to decide exactly what he requires as an outfit for the first 

 start in bee-keeping. To relieve the beginner of all perplex- 

 ity we list certain outfits which we think will meet his 

 needs. The one we give below is what may be fairly con- 

 sidered the best. Each item has been very carefully select- 

 ed, and we doubt the wisdom of leaving any article out: 

 but the purchaser may do so without altering the prices on 

 the other items.

The colony of bees is as near perfect as we can make them. 

 The combs are beautifully straight and well filled with brood. 

 The breeding of the queen Is of the very best, so that one 

 has the nucleus of a fine stock of bees. In many cases a 

 return of $10.00 in honey has been secured the first year from 

 just such an outfit as this, and in addition one or two 

 swarms may be secvired, which practically doubles the 

 value of the investment. Order at once.

medium offers as good an opportunity for 



profitable returns on such offerings as
