The ABC of bee culture: a cyclopaedia of every thing pertaining to the care of the honey-bee; bees, honey, hives, implements, honey-plants, etc., facts gleaned from the experience of thousands of bee keepers all over our land, and afterward verified by practical work in our own apiary. Bee culture. valentine's queen-stand.

This shelf is handy to lay cages, etc., on. There is a drawer 6x8x2 in. under the shelf, in which we keep a dozen, more or less, of queen - cages, a pair of small curved-pointed scissors, a slim sharp knife, etc. Our queen - stand (as we call it) weighs just 4 lbs. We leave it out in the bee-yard, as it is well painted, and a groove is cut around on the under side of the shelf so that no water can get into the drawer. When we are in the yard, and happen to want to look into a hive, the stand and its contents are ready near by. J. M. Valentine. Carlinville, 111. Another very convenient device is the fol- lowing, with a description by the AN EASEL TO HOLD COMBS. The stand is made as follows: Take a cubic block, A, measuring four inches each way, and four strips of wood, B, 1J4 inches square by ft or 4 feet long;.
