GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



FOUL BROOD MAY COME 



into your apiary when you least expect it. The sooner 

 you discover its vresence. the less difficult and expen- 

 sive will be its eradication. If you know exactly what 

 to do when you discover it, much valuable time may 

 be saved. No better instruction and advice on these 

 points can Vie found than that given in a five-page 

 article written by K 1,. Taylor, and published in the 

 February Bee - Keepers' R-evie-w. It is 

 comprehensive, yet concise The descrii.lion of the 

 disease, the instructions how to detect it, are Ihe best 

 and most complete of any I have seen. Xo one need 

 be mistaken in identifying foul brood after reading 

 this article. 



Mr Taylor then goes on and tells how to hold the 

 disease in check (a very important point), prevent its 



dis.semination among other colonies, bring all of the 

 colonies up to the honey harvest in a prosperous con- 

 dition, secure a crop of "honey, and, at the same time, 

 get rid of the foul brood. 



If you wish to know how to recognize foul brood to 

 get rid of it with the least possible loss if you wish to 

 tie prepared for it should it come, send 10 cents for a 

 copy of this i.ssue of the Revie-^v. With it \vil\ be 

 sent two other late but different issues of the R.e- 

 view ; and the ten cents may apply upon any sub- 

 scription sent in within one year. Acoupon will be 

 sent entitling the holder to the I<.eview one year 

 for only 90 cents.

PERFECT PENS 



My queens took first prize at the State Fair, in Nov., 

 1902. I have piles of testimonials from leading bee- 

 men to the good qualities of the queens I sent out last 

 season. Under date of July 3, 1902 F. A. I.,ockhart, of 

 Caldwell, N. Y., writes: " The doz queens arrived all 

 alive, and are a FINE LOT; "and again later on, 'We 

 like 3'our stock, it is O. K." 



I am adding extensively to my queen-rearing plant, 

 breeding in separate apiaries Golden and Leather- 

 colored Italians (both strains are red-clover workers), 

 Carniolanr. and Holy-lands, ot ch nicest strains. My 

 Golden stock is from one of Doolittle's choicest breed- 

 ers AH my queens are raised under the best possible 

 conditions, from extra-good honey-gatherers. Queens 

 ordered now will be maled when desired. Untested, 

 fl.OO, or 19.00 per dozen; tested, »1.25; a few choice 

 breeders at $2 50 each.

Say, all Beekeepers i Do You Buy Queens 



One Question, Please. 



If you were ofTercd a hive that would save you one- 

 half of your time and labor in its manipulations; one 

 that would save you more than $1.00 per hive in costs 

 of extras: or a double-wall hive for the price of a 

 single-wall hive, would you not investigate its claims 

 or merits? The 20th Century Ideal does all the above. 

 Then why not be on time, and send to-day for circu- 

 lars 1 Sec pages 72 and Ifil: also the Refieiv for Feb.. 

 paries 48 (excu.se errors on that page) and (iO. Book and
