GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



118 



10,000 COLONIES 



in the aggregate are owned by a dozen men who have 

 contributed articles that are to appear in the Bee- 

 keepers' Review for this year. No one of these men has 

 less than 400 colonies, and one has 1700! These men 

 are widely scattered, some living in California, some in 

 Texas, others in Colorado, while Mississippi, Cuba, Ver- 

 mont, New York, and Minnesota have men on the list. 

 These men have kept bees in large numbers. They 

 have succeeded. They have made money. They can 

 point the way for others. They will tell how many col- 

 onies in the home apiary will justify the starting of an 

 out-apiary ; how far apart out-apiaries ought to be 

 located; how locations shall be selected; the best meth- 



I ods of traveling from apiary to apiary; how hives and 

 increase shall be secured; what kind of honey shall be 

 produced; how to solve the swarming problem: what 

 are the greatest obstacles, and how to overcome them, 

 etc. The publication of these articles was begun in the 

 January Review, and will be continued through the 

 year, one or more appearing each month. If you are 

 making a business of bee-keeping, you can not spend 

 $1.00 to greater profit than in sending it for the Review 

 for 1905.
