GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE.

traded to 1X3 inches. 

 The Missouri Valley 

 College Buildings are 

 seen in the l)ackground. 



Fig. '' shows my honey 

 crop for 1900 (net weight 

 of 1300 lbs.), outside ]uy 

 house, tiered up secure 

 from robbers. It is a 

 great advantage to have 

 nice-fitting supers. 



Fig. 8 is a corner in 

 my supply - house, de- 

 signed to cause bee- 

 keepers to become more 

 interested in producing 

 a better quality of hon- 

 ey as well as to work on 

 the appetite of the hon- 

 ey-consumers. 



Fig. 4 is my extract- 

 ing-house, which, to 

 some extent, carries out 

 Mr. Alexander's ideas. 

 The best helper a bee- 

 keeper can secure is 

 his own wife. 



Fig. 5 is a picture of 

 our little ones, designed 

 to show the effect of 

 honey as a food for chil- 

 dren. I think any bee- 

 keeper can see that 

 honey contains both 

 health and happiness in 

 this home, and it may do so in others as well. 



I have made arrangements to secure for 

 the Missouri Valley College a lot of insects.

such as hornets' nests, wasps' nests, yellow- 

 jackets' nests, etc., next summer, for Dr. L. 

 E. Griffin's class work. While this throws 



no light on 

 bee-keeping it 

 was the great- 

 est attraction 

 we had at our 

 State Bee- 

 keepers' con- 

 vention.

[These little 

 glimpses into 

 the homes and 

 surroundings 

 of some of our 

 progress ive 

 friends, even 

 though they 

 keep only a 

 few bees, are 

 highly inter- 

 esting. Let us 

 have more of 

 these snap 

 shots. Fortu- 

 nate is the bee- 

 keeper who 

 has a wife that 

 knows how to 

 handle bees as 

 well as he does.
