THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



friends to a different apiary, and doing the 

 same thing next day. There need be no 

 wonder if a drone gets 20 miles from home 

 and fertilizes a queen there. 



These two from Dr. Miller, Gleanings 699, 

 are good enough to steal. 



" A queen has about 5,000 eyes ; a wurker from 

 that to 6.1X10. and a drone twice as many as a 

 worker. I'm glad I'm not a bee, for with only 

 two eyes I can see much that ought to be done." 



" A queen's brain is not so large as that of a 

 worker, and Cheghire thinks a queen does'nt 

 know as much as a worker. The queen lays 

 eggs, and the workers run all the other business 

 of the hive." 



Right in part, no doubt. The queen's 

 world is mnch more contracted than the 

 worker's world ; but she masters it more 

 thoroughly, I think. When she is bold she 

 is bold ; but when she is timid it is easy to 

 perceive that her eyesight is better than a 

 worker's, and that she plays squirrel with 

 you when you are seeking her.

To make a success of bee keeping, you want 

 bees that will give the very best results. My 

 Golden Italians havp gainpd a good name on 

 their own merits. Those who have tpsted them 

 with other bees say "they are the best honey 

 gatherers, cap tlieir honey the whitest, as gentle 

 as butterflies, beautiful to look at, are the largest 

 and strongest bee of all the races." Queens

Bind Your Back Volumes. 



The back volumes of the Review are some- 

 what different from those of some journals : 

 many of them are, to a large extent, little pam- 

 phlets devoted to the discussion of special top- 

 ics. For this reason they will always be partic- 

 ularly valuable for reference. But how provok- 

 ing it is when desiring to consult some bsck 

 number, to find that that particular number is 

 missing— has been lost or mislaid. To avoid 

 such annoyance, some have fastened together 

 the issues of each year by tacking them together 

 with wire nails, or something of the sort. This 

 is better than nothing, but there is a lack of 

 flexibility, the book does not open out easily so 

 that it can be read, there is no protection to the 

 outside leaves, besides there is nothing hand- 

 some about such an arrangement. 



There is a book binder here in Flint that does 

 excellent work at a fair price. He will put the 

 first five volumes of the Review into one hand- 

 some volume with morocco back and corners, 

 putting the title on the back in gilt letters, and 

 giving the edges of the leaves a neat, reddish 

 tinge — all for $1.25. 



Send me your back numbers, either by mail or 

 express, and I will get the work done and return 

 the book when bound, making no charge for my 

 services, as the binder allows me a small com- 

 mission, and should any of yonr back numbers 

 or volumes be missing, 1 shall be glad to furnish 

 them as long as the supply lasts, simply charg- 

 ing the regular price for them, which is as fol- 

 lows: Vols. 1 and II. five cents a copy; Vol. Ill, 

 four cents a copy ; Vols. IV and V. eight cents a 

 copy. 



The time will soon come when some of the 

 back numbers will be difficult to obtain, and if 

 yon care for the Review complete from the be- 

 ginriiu^r, nicely bounri, now is the time to attend 

 toil \V. /, Hl'TCHINSON, Flint, Micii.
