GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



75 



Control of Increase. 



is one of the most important questions in bee-keep- 

 ing, both to the small bee-keeper who can't be with 

 his bees all of the time, and to the man who is run- 

 ning out-apiaries: and Mr. E. F. Atwater, of Idaho, 

 who has for several years managed several apiaries, 

 some of them many miles from home, is writing a 

 series of articles for the Bee-Keepers' Review, giving 

 his experience in producing both comb and extracted 

 honey, particular attention being given to the man- 

 agement or control of increase. The opening para- 

 graph of the second article in the series is as follows: 

 "The system of swarm control, or non-swarming, 

 that gave me the best results, with a minimum of 



labor, with or without increase, no absconding, no 

 disturbance of the colony, no delay, will now be de- 

 scribed." 



The Review is $1.00 a year, but to each man who 

 sends me $1.00 for 1907 will be sent free (as long as 

 the supply holds out) all of the back numbers of 1906. 

 For $1.00 more the book "Advanced Bee Culture" will 

 be sent. In other words, you can get the Review for 

 1906 aud 1907 and the book for only $2.00.
