GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



Aug. 



ly safe. Your plan is a S(r\'c»-e check on the colony 

 removed, and also neocessitates lugging hives about, 

 something ice like to avoid. If you get bees from 

 frames in the upj)er stories, containing no brood, you 

 will seldom get a (lueen, and with 3 or i frames of 

 hatching brood, 3 very few bees will foon make a 

 •4001I colony.] _ 



A friend succeeds finely with the yellow i'oundations 

 sent by Pen-ine, and what surprises me is that the bees 

 blesu'h them as whiU' as tlie coml) they make from clover.

Adams, Wi-<.. July 5, 187C. 



I want something that 1 can examine any small thing 

 with, without having prepared objects. If your compound 

 microscope will do that. I would like to ha\'e one. 



T. B. Parker. 



'lTo be sure, you can examine :i7iylhi7ig you wish ; the 

 anly reason why we ad\'ertise prepari'd objects, is that 

 they soon decay if they are not preserved ni some way. 

 Again, it is something of aTi art to prepare any part of an 

 insect so as to show to the best advantage, and liave it 

 perfectly protected from the air and dust ; yet you or any 

 one else can learn to do it, with proper histructions and 

 practice. If yow wish to do much work, you liad better 

 have the book we advertise, "How to use the microscope."] 



I have two thousand Ujs. clover and bass-wood hon- 

 ey. Will take VI cents for it. K. S. P,E(KTEI,l.

[Very glad to hear you say so, and we have strong 

 hope-s of being able to convert you to movable frames 

 also, ere long, friend H.j 



The extractor works to a charm ; it surprises all 

 who have seen it, and is as much of a <!uriosIty to my 

 neighbors, as a white man is to the natives of Africa. 

 C. Mc;jUEEN. B uena Vista, Ohio, July -Jlst, lW(i. 



I have run my bees up from 52 to 130 but have little 

 honey. Have sold to-day, 18 stocks for ^«',)0.00.

[If you do not use hives that are too exitensive, even 

 .fo.OO per colony will pay at this season, will it ;.ot 

 friend AV. ?] 



Please take out my name from among the list of $1 .00 

 queens. Cannot till half my orders. The white clover 

 is immense. J. K. Ciioss.

I would just say for the benefit of those that are 

 ijothered with ants in their hives, that I have tried 

 every thing that has been recommended and all ilid 

 no good. My "better half" suggested trying salt, I put 

 some around the bottom of my honey boxes where 

 iliey trouble the most and don't you think they took 

 the hiut and left and I haven't been troubled with any 

 since . xS . W. KkrshaW.
