. The Bee-keepers' review. Bee culture. >r^. -7r E. R. Root has just returned from a 6000-mile trip through some of the best bee locations in the world, and has already begun his series of write-ups, accompanied with fitie photos, in Gleanings in Bee Culture. The following editorial appears Aug. ist, and will give_ something of an idea of what he will describe: Some little time ago I promised to tell about the bee-keepers' paradises in Texas. I have this on the docket, and it will appear as I take up my line of travels. But since running across that paradise I have run into two or three others. There is one west of the Rockies, in Colorado, that is not yet overstocked with bees or bee-keepers; another one in Central Idaho—in fact,-1 do not know but the whole State. These will be described in turn. The fact is, millions of capital are being invested in irrigation; irrigation means alfalfa; al- falfa means a paradise for bees. But I found all along my trip that alfalfa-growing preceded bee-keeping by two or three years, for it seems to take about that length of time before the bee-keepers find these gold mines that have been hitlVerto unoccupied. If you are dissatisfied with your present location, and for finan- cial reasons, or on account of health, will be compelled to leave, sub- scribe for Gleanings in Bee Culture, and learn something about the great South and the great West. There are many locations in the West that are not yet occupied—splendid bee locations. If you wish to learn about them, send 25 cents for a six-months trial subscription, or $ for one year, and one untested Italian queen. Or send | and we will send Gleanings one year and one of our celebrated red- clover queens. THE A. !. ROOT ' MEDINA, OHIO., U. S. A. >* J»'* ^'* .5'*^ .^'t^ .^ L. ^^t^ ^'t^ yt^ >t^ yt^ ^'L. J>^..
