The Beekeepers' Review Announcement for 1917 



Mr. Floyd Markham now holds the Gold Meda' 

 being offered by the Michigan State Beekeepers' 

 Ass'n for the best honey produced in the State. 

 This medal has now been won for the second 

 time by Mr. Markham at our late convention. Mr. 

 Markham also won all the first prizes on both comb 

 and extracted honey at the Michigan State Fair 

 at Detroit, this year. Mr. Markham is without 

 a doubt the World's Champion Comb-honey Pro- 

 ducer. How much would it be worth to you, 

 Mr. Comb-honey Producer, to call at Ypsilanti and 

 ask Mr. Markham all about how he proceeds to 

 produce so much better comb honey than the 

 average beekeeper ? It would likely be worth a 

 hundred dollars to you during a few years to come, 

 what information you would get at such a visit. 

 You can get it all for a dollar by subscribing for 

 the Review for 1917, for Mr. Markham will write 

 twelve articles for the twelve numbers of the Re- 

 view during 1917, telling the entire procedure of 

 securing the exhibition honey. None who aspire 

 to greater things in beedom should fail to read how 

 Mr. Markham accomplishes such results, which will 

 appear in the Review during the entire year of 

 1917. 



Mr. J. E. Crane is no stranger to the beekeeping 

 fraternity. He has written much at different times 

 relative to his method of beekeeping. We consider 

 ourselves fortunate in securing Mr. Crane to write 

 twelve articles for the Review for the year of 1917, 

 covering the entire season with the bees. Mr. 

 Crane's 40 years among the bees, as he will write 

 it up for the Review, will be mighty interesting 

 reading. In a book it would readily sell for a 

 dollar. You will get this interesting series, in- 

 cludijig many other features, by subscribing for 

 the Review for 1917. 



E. D. Townsend, now owner of the Beekeepers' 

 Review, used to produce comb honey on quite a 



large scale. He orignated the system now known 

 as " Producing both comb and extracted honey in 

 the same super." This system, if properly carried 

 out, is one of the verv best systems of comb-honey 

 production that have been brought to light. The 

 Editor of the Review has run large apiaries on 

 this system of producing comb honev WI'TH ONLY 

 12% OP THE COLONIES IN THE ENTIRE 

 APIARY SWARMING. An ideal system for out- 

 yard work for comb honey. The Editor of the 

 Review will write up this entire system of pro- 

 ducing both comb and extracted honey in the same 

 super for the pages of the Review for 1917. This 

 series of articles alone ought to be worth many 

 times the cost of the Review for a year. 



Space forbids our mentioning more valuable 

 contributions that will appear in the Review for 

 1917. 



We will mention at this time that we are making 

 arrangements with several of our very best honey- 

 producers to furnish us material for the Review, 

 vnhteii PROM ACTUAL EXPERIENCE of several 

 years' standing. We will mention just one more 

 of our 1917 correspondents who had 400 colonies 

 of bees. He works the entire 400 colonies for 

 extracted honey alone, in about 100 days, doing 

 the work alone and securing very favorable crops. 

 This party also sells his honey all in his home 

 market at a jsrice much above what is usually se- 

 cured by producers. There will be many more 

 valuable articles in the Review for 1917, including 

 ALL the valuable papers read at the National Con- 

 vention at Madison, Wis., next February. But we 

 must stop, as space forbids us saying more about 

 the valuable articles that will appear in the Review 

 for 1917. 



We hope there will be none of the readers of 

 Gleanings so short-sighted as to miss sending in 

 their dollars for the Review for 1917. Address
