GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



1547 



DECEMBER 



Bee-kef prs' Review opens with an illustrated article 

 by Elias E. Coveyou, showing how to build and operate 

 a tank for 



Liquefying and Heating Honey 



for bottling; also how to wash and dry bottles and 

 jars very quickly in a wholesale way. 

 R. L. Taylor gives some very reasonable 



Arguments Against Clipping 



queens' wings, and tells what course he would follow 

 instead. 



A new contributor from California, Mr. H. S. Phil- 

 brook, tells how he has introduced several queens to 

 one colony, even had several mated at once from the 

 same hive, by 



Clipping their Stings 



and mandibles. You may wonder why he clipped 

 their mandibles, but you won't after reading his article. 

 In the Extracted Department is an extract from a 

 long article published some years ago, in Germany, 

 by C. J. H. Gravenhorst, in which he considers and 

 shows very clearly 



Why Some Colonies Store So Much 

 More Honey 



than others that may even be stronger . 



Among other things the editor gives a write up of 

 the recent Chicago pure-food exposition, showing a 

 picture of the honey display put up by the National 

 Association; also a 



W. Z. HUTCHINSON, 



Beautiful Full-page Illustration 



taken from the balcony of the Coliseum, giving a 

 birdseye view of the whole show. 



E. D. Townsend has an excellent article on remov- 

 ing comb honey from th^ hive, grading, crating, pre- 

 paring for market and shipping. 



There isn't room to mention all of the good things 

 that appear in this issue, but enough has been given 

 to show the general bright, wideawake, go ahead. 



Helpful Character of the Contents; 



and let me say that the Review, for many months, has 

 been publishing just such practical, really useful in- 

 formation; and what it has done in the past it will do 

 in the future— improving if possible. 



I might add that the Riview has lately published 

 several articles on the 



Systematic Supersedure 



of queens versus that of leaving it to the bees, and 

 several more are still on hand to be used in early is- 

 sues. The man who supersedes his queens at a certain 

 age is making money— or else losing it— which is it ? 

 Whichever plan you are following, listen to the argu- 

 ments on the other side— it may mean many dollars 

 to you. 



The Review is only $1.00 a year, and, just at present, 

 I will 



Send all the Numbers of this Year Free 



to the man who sends me $1 .00 for 1908. Or I will send 

 the Review for 1907 and 1908, and the book Advanced 

 Bee Culture, for only $2.00.

Hunter - Trader - Trapper 



Here is a magazine that will surely interest many of our readers. It 

 does for the trapper what Gleanings does for the bee-keeper, and does 

 it well. It is just the thing for the man or boy who desires to make a 

 little money winter time by trapping fur-bearing animals. It gives all 

 trappers' "secrets," and indicates where to sell furs to advantage. 



Hunter - Trader - Trapper 



is not intended for city sportsmen with fancy guns and expensive fishing- 

 rods. It is written by real wilderness hunters who know all about the 

 capture of wild animals. It is a monthly, containing as much real read- 

 ing-matter as the great monthlies, and far more practical. For a limited 

 period we are making the following liberal offer: 



HUNTER-TRADER-TRAPPER, 12 issues a year, . . $1.00 

 GLEANINGS 100 



Both to the same party and address, $1.50. $2.00 



If you desire to inspect a copy of Huntek-Trader-Trapper, write 

 to the A. R. HARDING PUBLISHING COMPANY, Columbus, Ohio.
