GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



May 1 



L. vStacKelHausen, 



whose picture appears alongside, has an article in 

 the Bee keepers' Review for April, telling how 

 to prevent both natural swarming and increase, yet 

 get the best results in comb-honey production. It 

 is a modification of, or addition to, slowly swarming, 

 wherein the young bees, as they hatch in the old 

 colony, are transferred to the shook swarm on the 

 old stand, thus keeping that booming and piling up the comb honey. 



Send ten cents for this number, and with it will be sent two other late but different 

 issues, and the ten cents may apply on any subscription sent in during- the year. A cou- 

 pon will be sent entitling- the sender to the Review one year for only 90 cents.

Warranted to give satisfaction, those are the kind reared by QuJrin=the=Oueen=Breeder. We guarantee 

 every queen sent out to please you, or it may be returned inside of bO days and another will be sent 

 "gralis." Our business was established in 1888, our stock originated from the best and highest-priced 

 Long=tongued Red=clover Breeders in the U. S. We send out fine queens, and send them promptly. 

 We g"arante ] safe delivery to any State, continental island, or European Country. 



The A. I. Root Co. tells us that our stock is extra fine, while the editor of the American Beejotirnal 

 says that he has good rcpo'-ts from our stock, from time to time. Dr. J. X,. Gandy, of Humboldt, Nebr., 

 .says that he secured over 400 pounds of honej' (mostly comb), f:om single colonies containing our queens. 



A FEW TESTinONIALS. 



P. F. Meritt, of No. 13 Breckenridge St., Lex- 

 in";ton, Ky.. writes: The bees sent me last Jul}' 

 did splendidly. Each colony has at least 7.5 lbs. 

 of honey — pretty good for two-frame nuclei. 



Mr. J. Roorda, of Demotte, Ind., wri'cs: Send 

 me six more queens, the 48 sent me last spring 

 are hustlers. 



Mr. Wm. Smiley, of Glasgow, Pa-, writes: 

 Your bees beat all the rest, now send me a breed- 

 er of the same kind. 



A. Norton, Monterey, Calif., writes: Your stock 



excels the strain of Jlr. , wliich is said to 



ou«st;ipall others. Your stock excels in profit- 

 able results as well as in beauty. 



Price of Queens Before July First. 



Add the price of whatever queen is wanted to that 

 of nuclei. Our nuclei build up fast, and if not pur- 

 chased too late will make some surplus. 



Oueen-rearing is our specialty; we give it our undivided attention, and rear as manv queens (perhars 

 more) as any breeder in the North. No order is too large for us, as we keep 300 to 500 on hand ready 

 to mail. Send all orders to 



Quirin=the=Queen=Breeder,
