 normal temperature and the temper- 

 atures Incident to various activities 

 one can tell the shape, location, and 

 various activities of the cluster by 

 a study of the temperature of dif- 

 ferent points within the hive and 

 can, in fact, form an opinion as to 

 the welfare of the colony. It has 

 therefore been possible to follow 

 closely the activities of each clus- 

 ter without opening the hives and 

 even without going near them.

Review for the Review 



(Continued from page 2U6) 

 and took them to the shed and de- 

 posited them with any lost bees 

 that had remained in them and 

 as you see the next morning be- 

 fore they could get out they will 

 have to go down through this big 

 hive and surely will be told by 

 their sisters where they are at. By 

 changing these bodies and these 

 bees all from the single to the 

 double plan, will prevent the 

 natural swarming with all its 

 trouble and annoyance for this 

 busy farmer and if increase is 

 desired when the honey comes 

 off these big hives with their 

 seething mass of bees can be 

 set apart and a new queen be given 

 to the queenless part and another 

 body placed on each. If no increase 

 is desired, you simply put on your 

 honey cases in the spring and take 

 off your honey when it is ripe from 

 year to year. This is the story of 

 changing from the old to the new 

 method which saves us so m-uch 

 time and annoyance by preventing 

 natural swarming and enables us to 

 make our increase in so much eas- 

 ier and cheaper ways, when we 

 determine or have none at all, if 

 we so desire and makes possible so 

 many other things of value that we 

 have not the time or space to men- 

 tion here.

and her two great Expositions 

 FOR ONE I>OLLAR 



California will hold next year two great universal Expositions, 

 one at San Francisco and the other at San Diego, in cele- 

 bration of the completion of the Panama Canal and the join- 

 ing of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. 

 To supply the demand for reliable and authentic information 

 on California and these two Expositions, we have published 

 two guide books; one on San Francisco, the Exposition and 

 Northern California; the other on Los Angeles, San Diego, 

 the Exposition and Southern California, also a lithographed 

 view of San Franciscoin colors (size 30x45 inches) a picture 

 of the rebuilt city, including the Exposition. Each book is 

 6x9 inches, contains 1 50 pages and beautiful illustrations. 



These two books and view give a comprehensive, honest 

 history and description of the State, her principal cihes, re- 

 sources and her two great Exposirions. Sent postpaid for a 

 one dollar bill, money order, draft or check. North American 

 Press Association, 14"S Hearst Building, San Francisco.
