GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE

Completely Destroys 

 the Weed Growth 



More than that, the BAEKER breaks 

 the hardest crust into a level, porous, 

 moisture-retaining mulch — all in the 

 same operation. 



A ten-year-old boy can run it — do more 

 and better work than ten men with hoes. 

 Saves time and labor, the two big ex- 

 pense items.

Two Thousand 



Nuclei For 

 Spring Delivery 



A great many progressive beekeepers! 



; of today buy nuclei to make up winter i 



; losses, or in the form of pound packages I 



: to strengthen weak colonies. We know I 



; this is a good investment, and for a good \ 



\ many years have raised bees in the ; 



; South, sending them north to catch the j 



\ honey flow in July and August. It is our \ 



\ policy, in furnishing our customers with = 



I bees from our southern apiaries, to fur- 1 



; nish bees that give satisfaction to you, as \ 



they have to us for the past ten years. \ 



\ We are very particular as to the strain \ 



of bees we keep, and the rearing of our j 



queens is in the hands of an expert. I 



We maintain that the queen is the life j 

 ; of the colony, and they are reared under j 

 ; the most favorable conditions, that of I 

 natural swarming, and they are fine large I 

 ones with energy to spare, and as good \ 

 as money can buy. However, we do not j 

 sell queens, but we see that a good queen | 

 goes with every nucleus we sell. We guar- 1 

 antee you safety against disease, as our j 

 bees are inspected constantly, and our I 

 apiaries closely watched to see that no j 

 disease appears. Our prices as follows: I
