A LOOK INTO 1916 



Gleaninss in Bee Culture 



Long-headed men of affairs are enthusiastic over returning pros- 

 perity in business. Are you as a practical beekeeper prepared to take 

 your share of larger profits? GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE for 

 1916 will emphasize practical sales methods for honey producers. Two 

 numbers will be given over entirely to plans for pushing sales of honey. 

 Experienced beekeepers look for a good year all around, and these 

 special numbers will make it even more profitable. 



In each of the numbers the respective subject will be given thoro 

 treatment with articles, editorials, and departmental comment. The 

 combined force of many men's experience will be focused upon these 

 practical topics. As usual, we have selected the subjects to be featured 

 from suggestions made by readers themselves- 



Special Numbers for 1916 



March 1 — Buildings 



Every beekeeper has or looks forward 

 to having a workshop and extracting 

 house. The first March number will 

 discuss and illustrate plans, arrange- 

 ments, and details of buildings which 

 have proved satisfactory. If you in- 

 tend to build you'll need this informa- 

 tion. Interior equipment and devices 

 for saving labor will receive attention. 



May 1 — Out-apiaries 



This will interest the practical bee- 

 man of large operations. There will be 

 special articles on the let-alone plan of 

 beekeeping; extensive or intensive — 

 which'? Look for pertinent matter on 

 doing without detailed records for each 

 colony, securing a location, arranging 

 rentals, agreements, etc. — these and 

 other important details of success on 

 a large scale. 



June 1 — Wax Production 



We found a man in Arizona who says 

 it pays him to lun his colonies for wax 



alone. High freights take the profit 

 from honey. The values in wax pro- 

 duction, methods of extracting, render- 

 ing from old combs, marketing, and 

 the uses of wax will get a hearing in 

 June. 



July 1 — Advertising Honey 



Talk about honey! That's the only 

 way to sell it. What to say and what 

 not to say will be the meat of this 

 issue. Exhibits at fairs and food shows 

 will be illustrated, newspaper and di- 

 rect-by-mail advertising will be describ- 

 ed, and other suggestions aired. Can 

 you wait until July? 



August 1 — Marketing Honey 



After advertising come the sales. 

 Writers with something to say will dis- 

 cuss working up a local trade or selling 

 thru wholesales or jobbers. You will 

 not l^e kept in the dark about problems 

 of transportation, trade marks, and 

 construction of packages. Of course, 

 co-operation, national and local, will 

 have attention.
