GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

ATWATER'S baby-nucleus MAIING-YARD, 



bottomless shallow frame, which, when 

 placed between the SfXS frames, would 

 both space them and prevent all "swing" 

 in hauHng. Less and less do I care to run 

 any size of mating-box without brood, and 

 every thing in as nearly normal condition as 

 possible. 

 Meridian, Idaho. 



[These small or miniature mating-nuclei 

 in point of use go back of Thomas Chantry. 

 Both Mr. Henry Alley and D. A. Jones an- 

 tedate him from eight to ten years. We 

 used the Jones nuclei back in 1882, and at 

 that time we didn't know its value. Histo- 

 ry repeats itself sometimes, in that we have 

 to rediscover some good things.— Ed.]
