GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Dec. 15 



PARADISE -^ 



The editor of the Bee-keepers' Review has 

 visited nearly, if not quite, as many parts 

 of the country as has any bee keeper, and, 

 while he has seen several excellent loca- 

 tions for honey production, he has yet to 

 see the equal of some portions of Northern 

 Michigan. For three j^ears he has had 

 these regions under observation, last July 

 spending two weeks, with camera and pen- 

 cil, right on the ground, and he is satisfied 

 that, for the next 20 years, at least, this 

 part of the State will be a veritable paradise 

 for bee- keepers. 



The December issue of the Review is a 

 special number, devoted to Northern Michi- 



gan, nearly a dozen pages of descriptive 

 matter and beautiful pictures showing up 

 the beekeeping capabilities of that part of 

 the country — a country that, in many places, 

 is not yet stocked with bees. Why eke out a 

 scanty living in a poor locality, when there 

 are rich fields unoccupied ? 



Send $1.00 for the Review for 1904, and 

 you will get, not only this December issue, 

 free, but all of the other issues of this year. 

 In other words, as long as the supply holds 

 out, all of its numbers of this year ( 1903) 

 will be sent free to the man who sends $1.G0 

 for 1904. This year and next for only 

 $1.00.
