. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. December, 1914. 419 American Hee Journal is no rule in the art to apply to differ- ent beekeepers.

If our beekeeping friends desire to try them, we can easily supply them. Every one knows the value of advertising by keep- ing the name of the article constantly before the public.—Editor.] A Few Statistics on Queen Superseding BY DR. BRUENNICH.
