GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



1916" Advance Lewis Bee-supply News- 1916 



THE NEW LEWIS CATALOG this season, like BABNUM 'S CIECUS, is better, 

 bigger, and grander than ever. 



As a progressive beekeeper, you read the bee-journals, all the bee-books you can 

 get, and attend the conventions, BUT — 



IF you do not get the LEWIS CATALOG FOE 1916 you are neglecting a liberal 

 bee education. In no other form can you get so much good, meaty knowledge about 

 bee fixtures, apparatus, tools, and whatnot as you can right in the LEWIS CATA- 

 LOG— and the pity of it is, the man who does not avail himself of this opportunity 

 passes up that which he may have for the asking — -for it is free.

YELLOW SWEET CLOVER. — Many people fail to recognize the value of the biennial 

 yellow sweet clover as a honey-plant. The fact that it blooms two weeks earlier than the white 

 variety makes it especially valuable to the beekeeper. Be sure, however, to get the biennial 

 variety as quoted above.
