GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTUKE. 



Jan. 



Headquarters in tl\e Soutli 



FOR THE MANUFACTURE AND SALE OF 



Bee -Keepers' Supplies. 



The only steam factory erected in the South, exclusively for the manufacture of Hives, Frames, Sec- 

 tions, etc., etc. 



The Van Deusen-Nellis, and Root's Simplicity hives, and the 4Jix4J4 all-in-one-piecc sections a specialty. 



Comb Foundation made on the Root's and Dunham's mill, of pure wax, and worked on shares. 



Extractors, Smokers, Honey-Knives, Bee-Veils, and every thing needed in the apiary. 



Italian Queens and Bees; no other races in my apiary or in the neighborhood. The superiority of the 

 queens reared in my apiary is so well established, that no commendation is required. I send out no queen 

 that I would not have for myself; and any one receiving a defective or worthless queen from me will have 

 It replaced, etc. 



Untested queens in April, 11.25; in May, f 1.1."); In June and after, SI.OO; rates per do7.en given on ap- 

 plication. 



Tested queens, from March Ist to July Ist, $2.50; and after, 82 00. 



Selected tested queens, reared previous season, to breed from, $3.00. All my qtioens are reared from 

 selected imported mothers of my own importation, and from selected daughters. 



Early 4-frame nucleus, with tested queen, $5.00. I have made a specialty of the 4-framc nucleus for 

 the last four or five years, and have sent them out to all parts of the U. S. and Canada, and so far without 

 loss or complaints. 



Every nucleus I send out contains at least 3 lbs. of bees when received and sent out in the full-size 

 Langstroth frame. They are cheaper and more advantageous than bees by the pound. Any one wish- 

 ing a list of those to whom I sent nuclei the last season can have it on application, so that they can Inquire 

 what they were, etc. 



Full colonies in any quantity. Perfect satisfaction guaranteed in every Instance. For more particu- 

 lars, and prices, send for my descriptive illustrated catalogue. 



Will pay 25 cents in cash, or 27 cents in trade for beeswax.
